Algorithms

Algorithms

1. Computational Thinking

   • Decomposition
     • Breaking a large problem into smaller ones
   • Abstraction
     • Only taking the important to solve a problem
   • Algorithmic Thinking
     • Steps needed to get the desired result
   • An approach to solving a problem
   • Taking a complex problem and solving it using practical techniques

2. Flowcharts

   • Represents an algorithm
   • Show a sequence
   • Used for anything from making a cup of tea to an advanced computer database

3. Pseudocode

   • No strict standards
   • Keywords like IF, ELSE and FOR
   • Easy to turn into code
   • Mimics programming
   • Easy to follow
