In GCSE Computer Science, 'problem inputs' refer to the information or data that is provided to a computer program or system so that it can carry out specific tasks or solve problems. These inputs are the initial pieces of information that the program uses to begin processing and generate results. For example, if you are using a calculator program, the numbers you enter are the inputs. It is important for a program to receive the right inputs to work correctly and efficiently. Understanding and identifying the correct problem inputs is a crucial step in programming and helps ensure the desired outcomes are achieved.
