Analysis of the problem

Like the my older post of definition of a problem, by which we can get the basic understanding to it, analysis of the problem is also required. Once a problem has been defined, it must be properly analyzed. By this, we mean that definition of a problem is made as whole whereas the analysis is done in such a way that a problem is divided into various parts called sub-problem and each of these sub-problems are properly arranged in such a way that the sub-problem solution in that specific arrangement of each problem will lead to the overall solution of the main problem.
Analysis of the problem has a lot of advantages. If the problem is analyzed, the problem solver can make his / her logic according to that analysis. Analysis of the problem means looking the problem from each and every angle and finding out some type of initial gateway to its solution that will be the best of all the solutions. Analysis of the problem is just like factorizing a mathematical equation to find out its solution. A mathematical problem which cannot be solved without factorization can be solved when it is correctly factorized. Similarly a hug and complicated problem can be solved with correct logic or wisdom when it is analyzed properly and accurately.
Another example of analysis of a problem may be given like we have a bundle of sticks which has to be broken. Now in this case, if a large number of sticks are tied in that bundle, it will too much difficult to break it as a whole. Now the statement of the problem is "To break the sticks in the bundle in any way:. Proper analysis will soon result into the idea to unite the sticks and break them one by one.

It mus be kept in mind that if we properly understand the problem i.e we can successfully define the problem and we have certain logic or wisdom in our mind by which we can analyze and solve the defined problem, only then we shall be able to solve the problem computationally by means of computer program. A computer is having hardware and software that can perform useful operations, even though a computer is being instructed by its programmer and following these programmer instructions, it solves problems. If someone does not have a correct definition and analysis of certain problem, he/she has no logical basis to solve it then he/she cannot give it to the computer to solve it. The output obtained from the steps of problem definition and analysis is the logic of the programmer and it is more important than typing a program or writing a program. A lot of time and hard work is needed to make the logic of programming efficient and the best. For this, most experienced programmers give 90% of their time and effort for improvement of the logic of their programs.

Problem Solving

Whenever we are writing a computer program, our purpose is to solve a problem computationally. So the basic purpose of computer programming is solution of our daily life problems of different areas. This process of programming or problem solving is not just typing a program and then checking its output rather it is a process in which multiple steps fare involved. Our computer programming to solve a program consists of a number of steps which can be described one by one.

Defining the problem:
Problem definition is an important aspect problem solving whether that my be the computer field or any other field. By defining the problem one understand that what input or data has been given and what type of output is required. By this understanding one can get the initial point from where the solution to the problem can be found.
It must be kept in mind that problem definition is a very important step because the way we understand a problem starts right from this step. If a problem is clearly and correctly defined, the solution is highly simplified. One the other hand if some failure occurs in the definition of the problem, the entire solution becomes doubtful and complicated. This problem definition is a statement which is stated correctly, makes it easier to the problem solver how to solve it.

Essay A House on fire

Last Tuesday I was coming from school when I saw clouds so smoke near my house. I ran towards the spot. When I reached there, I saw that a house was on fire. It was terrible sight.
Many people had gathered there. The men in the house were crying for help. The fire was spreading. We all tried our best to put out the fire. Some of us threw buckets of water on it. Others threw sand and dust on it. Some brave men passed through the smoke and brought out small children and valuable things. It was very difficult for us to control the fire. No one knew what to do. It was a critical situation because the flames were rising high and high.
A good idea came to my mind. I ran to house and rang up the fire brigade. The fire brigade arrived there in fifteen minutes. The staff of the fire brigade fought bravely with the flames. Some of them laid water pipes and began to throw water on the spreading flames. Others brought out the inmates of the house. Though they received severe burn injuries but they did not care. At last, the fire was extinguished in half an hour. It did a great damage to the house. Clothes, furniture and other valuable articles were burnt. But thanks God that there was no loss of human life. On inquiry it was found that the leakage of gas cylinder was the cause of the fire.

The Recess Period

In every school there is a recess period. It is usually after the fifth period. It is a period of joy and relief. Almost all the students wait eagerly for this period.
As soon as the bell rings, the students come out of their classrooms and start running in every direction. There is a great rush in the corridors of the school. Some students run to their home to eat something there. Others go to the school tuck shop. Some of the students open their lunch boxes and eat the things which they have brought with them.
There are some students who go to the school library and read newspapers and magazines. The serious students, who do not waste their time, study their books. Some students spend this period in copying homework form the exercise books of their friends.
As far as i am concerned, i go to the school tuck shop. I refresh myself with a cup of tea in winter and with cold drink in summer. I meet my friends there who eat or drink something. Ours is a good tuck shop where everything is available to the students. After having a cup of tea or cold drink I run to the playground and play football. After playing there for some time, the bell rings and I go straight to my classroom.

Last month 7.94% of users accessing the internet via the operating system Mac OS X, an increase of 0.11% compared to the same statistics for May. If the development of Apple's operating system will move at the same pace, then this year you can expect a 10% market share of operating systems. With the pace in a few years may turn a serious struggle between competing platforms: Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS. The advantage of Apple also is the fact that the recent release of Windows Vista has not met expectations of users and shook their confidence in Microsoft, while "apple" is constantly improving its operating system and makes it all the more attractive to each user.
