My Problem Solving Process

1. Define the problem

  • Skin the problem down to its backbone
    • Filter out the useless information from the original question and simplify it
  • Re-iterate the problem with the new definition

2. Concept and Fundamental

  • Note down any significant points on the first reading of the original problem
    • Making a highlight of the key concepts of the problem
  • Verify the notes during the second reading of the simplified problem

3. Algorithmn

  • Classify the problem
  • Brainstorm possbile solutions
    • Imagine doing the cs program on paper
  • Search for an appropriate algorithm
    • Check for:
      • Time complexity
      • Memory complexity
  • Test the algorithmn with your test cases
  • Note down potential problems you may encouter

4. Code

  • Spending more time typing than thinking likely means that there’s not enough thought behind the code being written.

5. Debug

  • Ask the right questions why the program don't work.
    • Example: Did I spell my output words correctly?
      • Should of copy & pasted ^^
  • Refer to potential problem list
  • Make several test cases to help with debugging
