what are the diference between programmed and non-programmed decision situations?
117665
The programmed one is the one that is actually well prepared and planned. The non-programmed one is the one that is spontaneously conducted.

One is, uh, controlled...and the other, uh, isn't?\n\n*crossing fingers*\n\n\nlmao

"Decision control"? I hope, you mean "flow control"... the decisions, hopefully, are still under the programmer's control.\nI hope, you don't expect ALL the flow control structures explained... They are fairly self-explanatory, and there are tons of books  on the subject.\nI'll explain a couple to you here:\n- goto keyword is used to implement non-sequentual execution paths - like conditional statements or loops.\nfor example:\nL1: cin>>s;\n      if cin.eof() goto L2;\n      cout << s;\n      goto L1;\n\n- Long jump is similar to goto, but can be used to implement "jumps" accross code segments. Useful to implement function calls or so called exceptions.\nFor example:\nstring error_message = 0;\nvoid *ret = 0;\nL1: if (!error_message) longjmp (L2);\nabort (error_message);\n...\nL3: cin >> s;\nif cin.bad() goto L4;\ncout<<s;\ngoto L3;\nL4: error_message = "Read error"; \nlongjmp(L1);

Yes.  Intentions and actions do not always correspond to each other.

Complexity is generated in many natural ways, from turbulence to evolutionary scenarios. Complexity alone is not enough to conclude a creater. One difference between a planned construct (like a watch) and an unplanned one is that unplanned complexity tends to be either chaotic (in the strict sense, for example turbulence) or has extraneous mechanisms that are no longer useful or needed for functioning (from evolutionary scenrios). I think you will find the complexities of the universe to be one or the other.

Decision making is the process of choosing a preferred option or course of action from among a set of alternatives. Decision making permeates all aspects of life, including decisions about what to buy, whom to vote for, or what job to take. Decisions often involve uncertainty about the external world (e.g., What will the weather be like?), as well as conflict regarding one’s own preferences (e.g., Should I opt for a higher salary or for more leisure?). The decisionmaking process often begins at the information-gathering stage and proceeds through likelihood estimation and deliberation, until the final act of choosing. One can distinguish three approaches to the analysis of decision making: normative, descriptive, and prescriptive. The normative approach assumes a rational decision-maker who has well-defined preferences that obey certain axioms of rational behavior. This conception, known as RATIONAL CHOICE THEORY, is based primarily on a priori considerations rather than on empirical observation. The descriptive approach to decision making is based on empirical observation and on experimental studies of choice behavior. It is concerned primarily with the psychological factors that guide behavior in decision-making situations. Experimental evidence indicates that people’s choices are often at odds with the normative assumptions of the rational theory. In light of this, the prescriptive enterprise focuses on methods of improving decision making, bringing it more in line with normative desiderata.

Life is all about choices.  Even when we are presented with horrible conditions, we always have more than one reaction or action possible.\nIf fate puts us where we are, our choices determine the outcome.

Indecisiveness is due to so many factors. Unless you further amplify your question it is difficult to give a definite answer. To decide not to reach a decision is also a decision. So what exactly is your problem can be resolved, if you provide little more details.

Programs are already installed on your computer and are not called software. Software is programs you install on your computer (they are not already installed).

no rule. they dont have to differ in syntax level. its your choice.

It depends on what category or field it relates to.  Go to the link below, and find the field that pertains to the situation that you are inquiring about.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic

Disagree. Computers don't make you a better decision maker, they just give you more information to make those decisions.

No they have completely different meanings.\n\nThe first one means just what it says.\n\nThe second says that you didn't get tired til after ten hours.

I would rather not make a decision at all.  God gave us all free will and said to not judge others.  Therefore, I couldn't take way the free will of others or judge them and their mistakes by sending them back to start all over.

It relates to humans not being rational - one of the axioms of rationality is that preference is transitive - that is, if I like A better than B, and B better than C, then I must like A better than C.\n\nUnfortunately, in studies, humans often create circular rankings like the one you describe when asked to make each judgment independently - particularly when they don't think about any given judgement in depth.\n\nMore information should be available by researching "decision making" and "reasoning", depending on the timescale of the judgments - decision making pertains to snap decisions, whereas reasoning tends to involve choices with multiple seconds or minutes of thought.
