A [[problem]] is an issue or obstacle which makes it [[Challenge|difficult]] to achieve a [[desire]]d goal, objective or [[purpose]]. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem [[exists]] when an [[individual]] becomes aware of a significant [[difference]] between what is [[potential]] and actual.

A '''problem''' is an issue or obstacle which makes it [[Challenge|difficult]] to achieve a [[desire]]d goal, objective or [[purpose]]. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved.

Every theoretical problem asks for an answer or solution. Trying to find a solution to a problem is known as problem solving. That is, a problem is a gap between an actual and [[Desire|desired]] situation. The [[time]] it takes to solve a problem is a way of [[Measure|measuring]] [[complexity]].[1] Many problems have no [[discovered]] solution and are therefore classified as an open problem.
