1. 2.1

   • Abstraction
     • It simplifies a problem by removing unnecessary details
   • Decompression
     • breaking a complex problem into smaller, more manageable sub-problems.
   • Structure charts
     • allows large teams to each take a part of a problem and work on it.
   • Algorithmic thinking
     • It a reusable set of instructions to solve a given problem.

2. 2.2

   • Pseudocode
     • it is a way to write out algorithms using code-like statements.
     • not programming language
     • OCR Pseudocode
       • OCR have produced their own pseudocode which will be used in this course.
   • Flow Diagram
     • Parallelogram
       • input or output
     • Rectangle
       • a process
