The document discusses different techniques for representing solutions to problems, including flowcharts, pseudocode, structure charts, and layout design sheets. Flowcharts use symbols to show the steps and decisions in a solution, with a clear start and end point. Pseudocode uses plain English to outline the steps. Structure charts show an overview of solutions involving different processing levels or options. Layout design sheets provide details for user interface design, including colors, text placement, fields, and navigation.
