Computational Thinking

Computational Thinking

1. Abstractly

   • Abstraction is required to enable complex procedures or events to be modelled
   • The user does not need to know how it's done. therefore being abstract is hiding details from the user making it more accessible and appear more simple.
   • Computer models cannot account for every single element of an event as this would make it extremely complex and time consuming.

2. Procedurally

   • Algorithm
     • list
   • A set of steps to do a job
   • Start state, an end state that we want to reach, and a set of steps in between made up of operations

3. Logically

   • Identify the points in a solution where a decision has to be taken
   • Determine the logical conditions that affect the outcome of a decision
   • Determine how decisions affect flow through a program
