COMPUTATIONAL THINKING

COMPUTATIONAL THINKING

1. Understanding problems and formulating solutions so they can be carried out by computers

2. Decomposition

   • Reduces problem into smaller parts
     • Makes it easier to solve

3. Abstraction

   • Removing unnecessary information/elements
     • Only the important parts remain

4. Pattern Recognition

   • A method of identifying patterns when problem solving
     • Identify where constructs can be used
       • Selection
       • Iteration
     • Identify where sections of code can be reused
       • Functions
       • Procedures
