The program c. The results. Answer: A 1. After you have identified alternative solutions a. You are ready to evaluate the solution s. You are ready to select the best solution. You are ready to write the algorithm.

You are ready to identify the knowledge base. To select the best solution, you should a. Identify and list the pros and cons of each alternative solution. Develop an algorithm for each solution. Develop the knowledge base for each solution. Identify the problem. Answer: A. To create a set of instructions to make Otto walk in a figure other than a square, the following instruction s would need to be added to the instruction set: a.

Turn 1 degree, turn is always right. Turn x degrees, where x is a given number of degrees in an angle, turn is always right. Turn x degrees, where x is a given number of degrees in an angle, turn is always left.

Any of the above. A set of step-by-step instructions is processed: a. In the order they are presented and processed. Can skip around to other instructions.

Can return to a previously processed instruction. In random order. The set of step-by-step instructions written for the solution to a problem must: a. Be within the knowledge base of the problem. Can use any instruction, regardless of the user or the machine. Does not have to be in order of processing. To identify the best alternative solutions you should: a. Use only your own ideas. Use any solution, no matter how unacceptable it is.

Identify only the first few that you think about. When writing a set of instructions for the computer: a. The instructions must be in proper order.

The instructions must be complete. The instructions assume the computer knows nothing. A problem that would require an algorithmic solution is: a. Playing a game of chess. Making a cup of cocoa. Deciding which stock to buy. Computers can best deal with problems that require: a.
