Evaluating solutions 2

1. Abstaction

   • The process of separating and filtering out ideas and specific details that are not needed in order to conventrate on those that are needed.

2. Algorithm

   • A sequence of logical instructions carrying out a task in computing. Algorithms are needed to design computer programs

3. Computational thinking

   • A problem-solving method using computer science techniques, where possible solutions are developed and presented in a way that is understandable by humans and computers

4. Decomposition

   • The breaking down of a system into smaller parts that is easier to understand, program and maintain

5. Design Criteria

   • Principles and standard that designers should meet in designing a system

6. Flowchart

   • A diagram that shows a process, made up of boxes representing steps, decision, inputs and outputs

7. Instruction

   • A single action that can be performed by a computer processor

8. Patten Recognition

   • Finding similarities and patterns in order to solve complex problems more efficiently

9. Program
