It will be a good way to lead the educatee by explaining basic algorithm and relevant theories in this aspect. And more creative and problem-solving factors have to be studied and applied to the current education system. To arouse interest and attention of the educatee, many efforts to make the concepts and theories that are still difficult to understand to the educatee.
