Problem solving and algorithms

1. "A computer doesn't solve a problem, is just a tool to implement a plan for solving a problem"

   • A computer program is a set of instructions for implement a plan.
     • An algorithm is a plan for solving problems wich must be translate by a person into a computer program
       • To development process consist of 5 major steps
         • Obtain a description of the problem
         • Analize the problem
         • Develop a high-level algorithm
         • Refine the algorithm by adding more detail
         • Review the algorithm
