Logical and Computational Thinking

1. Computational Thinking

   • A process to solve proble through different techniques, such as formulation, organization and analysis, representation, automation via algorithms, identification and implementation, and generalization.
   • Techniques
     • Abstraction: eleminating what is not necessary
       • Breaking down: It depends on the problem, but it explains that it can be broken into small pieces, so that it would be easier to solve.
         • Simulation: It helps us anticipate what will result from a problem.
           • Algorithm development: Steps used and replicated to automate processes.

2. Problem: Definition and how to solve it

   • What is a problem?
     • Oxford states that a problem is a situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful, needing to be dealt with and overcome.
