Computational thinking

Computational thinking

1. Algorithms

   • Structured english
     • IF Condition A is True THEN implement Action A ELSE implement Action B ENDIF
   • Flow charts
     • terminator
     • process
     • decision

2. Pattern recognition

   • license plate recognition, fingerprint analysis face detection/verification and voice-based authentication.
   • Pattern recognition is the automated recognition of patterns and regularities in data. It has applications in statistical data analysis, signal processing, image analysis, information retrieval, bioinformatics, data compression, computer graphics and machine learning.

3. Decomposition

   • Similarly, trying to understand how a complex system works is easier using decomposition. For example, understanding how a bicycle works is more straightforward if the whole bike is separated into smaller parts and each part is examined to see how it works in more detail.

4. Abstraction

   • In simple terms, abstraction display only the relevant attributes of objects and hides the unnecessary details. For example, when we are driving a car, we are only concerned about driving the car like start/stop the car, accelerate/ break, This is a simple example of abstraction
