Thinking Procedurely - Identifying Components of a Solution

What is the next step in the process after identifying the components of a problem?

• Break down the problem into a top-down structure diagram

• Identify the components required to produce the solution

• Create a user interface for the solution

• Spot design techniques and validation techniques

What are some elements required to obtain the employee's details in the wages program?

• Cancel and create buttons, descriptive label, text input boxes

• Drop down selection fields, calendar lookup function, required fields

• Free flow notes field, descriptive title to the screen

• Clear instructions telling exactly what to enter into each box

What validation technique might be needed for the mandatory fields in the wages program?

• Allowing empty strings

• Disallowing empty strings

• Allowing any input

• Disallowing any input

What is the first step in problem-solving in programming?

• Identifying the problem

• Writing the code

• Testing the solution

• Debugging the code

What is the purpose of a top-down structure diagram in problem-solving?

• To identify the components of the problem

• To break down the problem into smaller, manageable parts

• To create a user interface for the solution

• To identify design techniques and validation techniques

What type of data validation might be required for the numeric fields in the wages program?

• Allowing only numeric input

• Disallowing numeric input
