Short Info On Excel Solver Excel Solver is a tool to model and solve linear and nonlinear programming problems. To access it‚ open Excel‚ choose the tab “Data” and select “Solver” from the “Analysis” group. If it is not there‚ you have to install it‚ by clicking the “File” tab (or the Office button)‚ then “Options”‚ then “Add-Ins”‚ and then “Manage Add-Ins”. Check “Solver” there. To solve the model‚ you have to first program in on a spreadsheet. In the attached “excel-example.xls” we solve the linear

of data. Data structure mainly specifies the structured organization of data‚ by providing accessing methods with correct degree of associativity. Data structure affects the design of both the structural and functional aspects of a program. Algorithm + Data Structure = Program Data structures are the building blocks of a program. The programmers have to strive hard to solve these problems. If the problem is analyzed and divided into sub problems‚ the task will be much easier i.e.‚ divide
