How Solving problem in C ?

Question

Hello everyone!

I know the concepts of the C language, but when I am in front of a subject I do not know what notions to use to solve the problem of the subject. I would like to have some indicative of how to know if I need to use this or that concept to solve the problem.

Thank you for tour help.

Answer 1

Absolutely. Every detail you know will help you, but not necessarily right after you learned it first time, but after you got really used to it by using it.

Example of my own: Recursion didn't make sense to me for a long time. So when I had to solve any problem, I wouldn't even think of recursion.

Lately I practiced recursion a lot in really simple settings; and now, after having used it fifteen something times, suddenly it starts to occur to me: 'Hey, can't we solve this recursively?'

Answer 2

Read about control & data structures. You need to learn basic concepts of algorithm

Answer 3

Best way is to split problems in pieces and solve individual pieces. While you're solving problems learn basic data structures and algorithms

Answer 4

HonFu, it would help if you have concepts of constructs, datastructs and Oop

Answer 5

My experience: After you have used a tool several times, it will eventually occur to you when you need it.

For example if you just learned about the while loop, it is all very new and strange, so even if it would help you, it wouldn't occur to you. But after you wrote twenty different loops in your practice codes, it becomes part of your subconscious 'arsenal'.

So it's not necessarily about consciously figuring out which tool to use with a given problem, but about ingraining the tools by practicing them a lot in your codes, so that they will just come to you when needed.
