Problem outputs - GCSE Computer Science Definition

Reviewed by: James Woodhouse

Published

In GCSE Computer Science, "problem outputs" refer to the end results or information produced by a computer program or system after it has processed inputs. When you write code to solve a problem, you usually start with some data or user input and use algorithms to perform calculations or operations on that data. The output is what you get at the end of this process, like the final answer to a maths problem or the result of a game. Outputs can be numbers, text, images, or any other type of data, and they help determine if the program is working correctly and providing useful information.
