25. Breaking Down a problem#
We discussed in class and students in class got individual feedback on their plan for A11.
25.1. strategies#
you’ll generally have to mix strategies
these processes, not the answer, are the most important thing to get good at, building next level AI systems is about this type of abstract thinking
25.1.1. Work backwards#
Try to think about what the solution should look like
then what do you do to get that
then what are the input requirements for that step
and repeat
25.1.2. break it down#
try to expand each part of the instructions into more detail
keep going until you know what to do
25.1.3. leave blanks#
if you do not know something, leave a “blank” or a variable and work on other parts
when you have more of a plan, sometimes the missing piece is easier to figure out
