Explain the importance of the Analyze the Problem step of the problem-solving process. What are the two most important components?

What will be an ideal response?


You cannot solve a problem unless you understand it, and you cannot understand a problem unless you analyze it-in other words, unless you identify its important components. The two most important components of any problem are the problem's output and its input. The output is the goal of solving the problem, and the input is the item or items needed to achieve the goal. When analyzing a problem, you always search first for the output and then for the input.
