COMPUTING REVISION

1. CLOUD COMPUTING

2. output/input

   • connector
   • process
   • decision
     • terminator
   • An input is data received by a computer. An output is a data sent from a computer.

3. computational thinking

   • Computational thinking allows us to take a complex problem, understand what the problem is and develop possible solutions. We can then present these solutions in a way that a computer, a human, or both, can understand.

4. decomposing

   • Breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller, more manageable parts.

5. sub folder

   • a sub folder is inside another folder

6. Sequence

   • Following an ordered set of instructions.

7. Abstraction

   • Focusing on the important information only. Ignoring the details that are not needed.

8. Algorithms

   • Developing a step-by-step solution to the problem, or the rules to follow to solve the problem.

9. connector

   • Connects the flowchart shapes. The arrow shows the direction or flow of instructions.

10. Pattern Recognition

    • Looking for similarities among and within problems. Looking for patterns.

11. Selection

    • Making a decision within a computer program to decide which instruction to carry out next.
