1. Mr. Lee needs to attend an important meeting in Penang tomorrow

morning, he intend to drive there in the evening and stay overnight at a
hotel so that he could be on time for the meeting. Just when he is to
push off, he discovered that his car could not start. Advise Mr. Lee on
the process to solve his problem through the six steps of problem solving
process identify and explain how each steps can be achieved.

Is your solution heuristic or algorithmic?

2. The marketing director of ABC company approach you to develop a system to

calculate the time taken to reach a destination given the following equation. v =
d/t. where v represent velocity, d represent distance and t as time taken. State
how you can develop the system using the seven steps of program development
and explain what is needed in each step.
