An Introduction to Computer Science and Problem Solving
INTRODUCTION Today, computers are all around us. We use them for doing various tasks in a faster and more accurate manner. For example, using a computer or smartphone, we can book train tickets online. India is a big country and we have an enormous railway network. Thus, railway reservation is a complex task. Making reservation involves information about many aspects, such as details of trains (train type, types of berth and compartments in each train, their schedule, etc.), simultaneous book...
INTRODUCTION TO PROBLEM SOLVING An algorithm is a sequence of simple steps that can be followed to solve a problem. These steps must be organized in a logical, and clear manner. We design algorithms using three basic methods of control: sequence, selection, and repetition. 1.1 Sequential control. Sequential Control means that the steps of an algorithm are carried out in a sequential manner where each step is executed exactly once. Let’s look at the following problem: We need to obtain the t...
About theTutorial Computer programming is the act of writing computer programs, which are a sequence of instructions written using a Computer Programming Language to perform a specified task by the computer. Computer Programming is fun and easy to learn provided you adopt a proper approach. This tutorial attempts to cover the basics of computer programming using a simple and practical approach for the benefit of novice learners. Audience This tutorial has been prepared for the beginners who ...
A computer is an electronic device that receives input, stores or processes the input as per user instructions and provides output in desired format. Input-Process-Output Model Computer input is called data and the output obtained after processing it, based on user’s instructions is called information.
What is Computer Science? 6 • Computer Science can be summarized with two simple words: problem solving. • Computer Science is the study of problems, problem-solving, and the solutions that come out of this problem-solving process. • Given a problem, the goal is to develop an algorithm to solve the problem. • An algorithm is a step-by-step list of instructions to solve the problem.

Trial Balance The trail balance can be defined as the list of all balances extracted from the ledger accounts at a given point in time drawn up to test the arithmetic accuracy of accounting entries. The debit balances are shown under the debit column and the credit balances under the credit column. As has been mentioned, the total of the debit balances should agree with the total of the credit balances if the double entry principle have been correctly applied. The failure of the totals to agr...
he final accounts represent the presentation of financial information for a particular period or year to the users of financial report.
