Things to Remember

• 80% planning, 20% implementation
• Read slowly.
• Examine assumptions and let them go. Keep an open mind.
• Resist the urge to jump to conclusions. Resist the urge to plug in a known structure or syntax even as you're reading the question.

• The question is only ONE way of describing the problem. What are other ways of looking at this description?

• Abstraction first, Implementation later

• Understand the cases of the problem as a PROBLEM not from with the limits of the syntax you keep reaching for.

• What is the problem? What am I trying to achieve?

• What are my cases at each step in abstracted terms?

Questions to When Debugging

• Look at every single line and ask yourself: what am I asking the computer to do?
