B.2.2 Processing Data with Rules Notes
Rules are instructions that tell a computer how to process data.
They are essential for ensuring that data is handled correctly and that the desired results are produced.
Note
Rules are often implemented as algorithms, which are step-by-step procedures for solving a problem or performing a task.
However, they can also be represented as mathematical formulae, tables of input/output values, etc.
Types of Rules
Validation Rules : Ensure data is correct and meets certain criteria.
Transformation Rules : Convert data from one form to another.
Calculation Rules : Perform mathematical operations on data.
Filtering Rules : Select specific data based on criteria.
Why Rules Are Important
Consistency:Rules ensure that data is processed in the same way every time.
Accuracy:Rules help prevent errors by validating and correcting data.
Efficiency: Automated rules save time and reduce manual effort.
Reliability:Rules make systemspredictable and trustworthy.
Designing Effective Rules
Clarity:Rules should be easy to understand and implement.
Specificity:Rules should address specific scenarios without ambiguity.
Flexibility:Rules should be adaptable to changing requirements.
Efficiency:Rules should minimize resource usage and processing time.

Introduction to Rules in Data Processing
Rules are instructions that tell a computer how to process data.
They are essential for ensuring that data is handled correctly and that the desired results are produced.
AnalogyThink of rules in data processing like recipes in cooking. Just as a recipe guides you on how to prepare a dish, rules guide a computer on how to handle data.
ExampleA rule might specify that all email addresses must contain an '@' symbol.
NoteRules can be applied at various stages of data processing, from input validation to output formatting.
