2.1 - Mind Map

1. 2.1.1

   • Abstraction
     • Why is it needed?
     • What is it?
       • It allows a problem to split up into its core ideas and concepts to simplify it and make it easier/possible to solve. It allows for the removal of unnecessary information.
   • APIE
     • Abstraction
     • Polymorphism
       • A single code that can handle many different types of data - Increases reusability
     • Inheritance
       • Making code "Classes" that can be used to make objects that come under that class (Classes contain concepts). For example a "VW" object would inherit the "Car" class which contains the data of having an engine and four wheels.
     • Encapsulation
       • AKA. "Blackboxing" allows segmentation of code and vairables to prevent unintended changes and increase secuirty/reliabilty.

2. 2.1.2

   • Inputs/Outputs
     • What inputs/outputs are needed to solve a problem?
   • Reusability
     • How does it help?
     • Why is it needed?
   • Preconditions (Requirements)
     • What do we need to solve the problem?

3. 2.1.3

   • Splitting a problem up into logical components
   • Working out a logical and efficient order to solve the components of the problem
   • Identify any sub-processes that can be implements in order to improve efficiency

4. 2.1.4

   • Identify parts of a program where decisions have to made
   • Determine what logic needs to be implemented into the decision.
   • Determine how said decisions will alter program flow

5. 2.1.5

   • Determine areas of a problem that can be solved/completed simultaneously
   • What issues can concurrent processing cause?
