question 25 of 25
which step is not necessary when solving a problem with an algorithm?

a. combine the smaller parts of the problem into one big problem.

b. analyze the problem and understand it.

c. write out all the inputs and outputs your algorithm will need.

d. write the algorithm.

Explanation:

When solving a problem with an algorithm, the typical approach involves analyzing the problem (B), identifying inputs/outputs (C), and writing the algorithm (D). Algorithms usually break problems into smaller parts (decomposition), not combine smaller parts into a bigger problem. So combining smaller parts into one big problem is not a necessary step.

Answer:

A. Combine the smaller parts of the problem into one big problem.
