Computual thinking

1. Algorithms

   • A sequence logical instructions for carrying out a task.They are needed to design computer programs
   • Flowchart
     • A diagram that shows a process made of boxes representing input and output
   • Instructions
     • An action that can be performed by a computer process
   • Programs
     • Sequence of instructions for a computer
     • programming
       • Writing a computer software
     • variable- the memory location in a computer program

2. Decomposition

   • Decomposition involves breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller parts

3. Pattern Recognition

   • Finding patterns to solve a complex problem more efficiently

4. Abstraction

   • Abstraction involves filtering out the characteristics that we don't need

5. The four cornerstones

6. Design criteria

   • Standards that designers should meet in designing

7. Problem-solving methods using computer science techniques presented in an understandable way by humans

   • Specification- it tells the designer exactly what to do
   • Syntax-Rules on how to write something in a programming language

8. Pseudocode- a way of writing a set of instructions using english
