Finding and Replacing

Finding and Replacing

What is it?

Search locates matching values; replace can alter many records and therefore needs narrow scope and backup.

In simple words

• Search locates matching values; replace can alter many records and therefore needs narrow scope and backup.
• Working method: first identify the input or starting state for finding and replacing; then apply the rule or process in a clear order; finally inspect the output, test an edge case, and explain any limitation.
• Example: apply finding and replacing to a small school, home, or software problem and trace the result.
