ABC TO XYZ OF AI

✅ Python Problem-Solving Template:

Let’s slightly enhance previous version to dynamically adapt to all problem types:

🧠 0. Understand the Problem (Add to every solution)

• Problem Statement: What exactly is asked?
• Input/Output format: Examples + edge cases
• Constraints: Time/space limits, input size
• Keywords: Sort, Search, Max/Min, Count, Path, Decision

✏️ 1. Write Pseudocode / Flow

• Step-by-step breakdown
• Conditions / Decisions
• Use diagrams if applicable (matrix, tree, array, etc.)

🧰 2. Choose Tools

• Which data structures? Why?
• Loop or Recursion?
• Sliding Window / DP / Stack / Queue?

🧪 3. Dry Run with Mini Input

• Manually run on 1–2 inputs
• Track variable changes
• Ensure logic holds

💻 4. Code

def get_input():
    # Can be hardcoded, user, or file
    return "abba"

def process(data):
    # Core logic here
    return data == data[::-1]

def show_output(result):
    print("Is palindrome?", result)

def main():
    data = get_input()
    result = process(data)
    show_output(result)

main()

✅ 5. Test & Debug

• Add print() at each logic step
• Cover edge cases

🧠 Optional Enhancements:

• Add time/space complexity as docstring
• Write unit tests
• Make reusable function if needed
