bilis_money Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Let say your client assigned you a new project then you accepted this, but you realized this is very new problem and you have never experienced this before, How do you approach the problem? How do you make solution for this? What's your steps for solving this problem. Any idea on how to solve always changing and brand new problems? I'm just curious for this type of matter because i have a friend that is very smart, if you give him problem then he will think in just minutes then later he will give his idea and solution i can't believe people like him exist in this planet i think he is a super geek or an alien to me. LOL But if you have bright answer to these questions also please share it to me maybe i can upgrade my thinking too. Thank you very much...

trq Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 You can find solutions to alot of problems by breaking the problem down into smaller logical steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilis_money Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 well that's a good idea thorpy. anyone else would like to add more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 How does one even answer this question? I would say it would vary from problem to problem. The ultimate answer is that is would depend on your ability to use your brain effectively and as thorpe said, break the problem down. Some people are just smarter than others.

bilis_money Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 yeah that's the point there "Some people are just smarter than others." When my friend answer a question he is very smart it's very accurate it's just like he has a photographic memory. Some times i'm very jealous at him i want to stab him with pork. LOL Is there a way to extract and study someone's brain LOL? Or maybe he has a technique or pattern that he always follow every time he tries to figure out problems.

effigy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Break things down. Conceptualize. Look at the underlying fundamentals. Weigh Options. Talk to others. Google. Use forums. And, of course, read the documentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good memory does not make you smart. Depending on your definition of 'smart'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micah1701 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 i like to work backwards when mapping out what needs to be done. what needs to happen to accomplish my final goal (z)? then, what(y) needs to happen to do that(z)? and what(x) do i need to do that(y)? etc. eventually you have a list of steps: do (A) and you will get (B), once you do B, you accomplish ©, finish C and you'll have (D)....all the way until you get to your goal (Z).

teamgrowth Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 IMO if you do not get a good solution quickly then, post in some good relevant forums, you should get some help in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designationlocutus Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Divide and conquer. Break your brief down into data structures and figure out how they interact with each other. If there's gaps question the client. If done well, hardly any time will be spent on code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Practice word problems. In grade school I hated word problems because I didn't understand their purpose. Let's say you're learning to add and subtract, I always considered a worksheet with 30 problems on it more effective than one with 5 word problems. I thought if I understood the core concept I could do any of the word problems. Well, here is the example that taught me the difference when I was about 12: 220 students are going on a field trip and each bus can hold 40 students. How many buses are needed? Simple! 220 / 40 = 5.5 I felt like a moron when the teacher asked me how I was going to take 1/2 a bus. The real world is nothing but word problems.
