What is mean by Analysis? What is its importance in problem solving process.(Chap.1)

Q.What is mean by Analysis? What is its importance in problem solving process.(Chap.1)
Ans.
The process of understanding the problem is known as analysis.  Problem analysis is very important step in solving the problem because without understanding the problem, its solution is not possible.
In this process i.e. analysis, the problem is divided into many pieces then all these sub problem or pieces are solved individually. In this way the process of solving the problem becomes very easy and simple. The process of dividing a problem into sub problems is called 'top down design'. Also , it is known as divide and rule strategy.
While analyzing a problem, following questions are of much significance.
  • How many solutions exist for the given problem.
  • What is the optimal solution.
  • Is the problem solvable on the computer.
  • What are the inputs and outputs.
  • How can a bigger problem be divided into sub problems.
