The problem solving process emphasizes a "first, do-it-by-hand" approach because
A)pseudocode is not able to capture the subtleties of complex problems.
B)it is faster to do computations by hand than to do them by computer.
C)this guarantees that programs will be correct.
D)if programmers cannot compute a solution by hand, it is unlikely they will be able to write a program that can do it.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "first, do-it-by-hand" approach forces programmers to fully understand the problem and come up with a solution before relying on the computer to do the work for them. If they cannot compute a solution by hand, it is unlikely they will be able to write a program that can do it. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
