Loops
In daily lives, we come up with scenarios that requires solutions to the problems.
In this chapter, we are going to understand how to solve problems with reasoning
and stepwise thinking.
REASONING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
Reasoning and Problem solving techniques are the first steps to solve any problem
through stepwise thinking.
Reasoning is the process of thinking about the task in a logical or sensible way. It
helps you to choose a correct option from the available options.
Problem Solving is the process of finding solutions to a difficult task.
For example, suppose this evening you want to go to your cousin’s birthday party
and you also have an exam tomorrow morning.
In this situation, you have two options: cousin’s birthday party and preparation for
the exam. Now you will think and try to choose one option. This process is called
Reasoning. After that you have a reason to decide which option is more important
for you. It is called Problem Solving.
STEPWISE THINKING
Every task, from cooking to making rockets, has a sequence of steps that need to
be followed. To do any task, follow these steps:
List the main steps of the task.
Divide each main step into smaller steps.
Follow the sequence of steps.
