Systematic Approach to Problem Solving

What is the main goal of a systematic approach to problem solving?

• To guess the solution randomly

• To solve problems without any rules

• To avoid using any algorithms

• To identify and follow individual steps to reach a solution

Why is it important to create a set of rules or an algorithm?

• To make the problem more complex

• To ensure the solution is reached precisely

• To avoid solving the problem

• To guess the solution

What is the first step in solving a word search systematically?

• Ignoring the grid

• Starting from the bottom right corner

• Identifying the words to look for

• Randomly looking around the grid

How can you make the search for a word in a grid more efficient?

• By looking for the last letter first

• By looking for the first letter of the word

• By ignoring the first letter

• By starting from the middle of the grid

What should you do once you find the first letter of the word in the grid?

• Ignore the adjacent letters

• Move to a different grid

• Stop the search

• Check all the letters adjacent to it

What is the purpose of using x and y coordinates in the grid?

• To make the grid more complex

• To easily refer to the positions of letters

• To ignore the positions of letters

• To randomly guess the positions

Why is abstraction important in storing data for a word search algorithm?

• To store unnecessary data

• To ignore the data

• To focus on relevant data and simplify the problem

• To make the problem more complex

What is the advantage of using two for loops in the algorithm?

• To make the algorithm slower

• To randomly check the grid

• To ignore some parts of the grid

• To ensure all columns and rows are checked

How can you ensure the algorithm does not check cells outside the grid?

• By randomly checking cells

• By not using any conditions

• By ignoring the grid boundaries

• By keeping track of the grid boundaries

What should you do if the second letter of the word is found in a specific direction?

• Stop the search

• Continue checking in that direction

• Change the direction

• Ignore the direction
