2.1 algorithms

1. Computational Thinking

   • Algorithm: Steps to provide a solution to a problem, usually represented in flowcharts or pseudocode
   • Decompose: Breaking down a large problem into smaller sub-problems
   • Abstraction: Representing 'real world' problems in a computer using variables and symbols and removing unnecessary elements from the problem
   • Algorithmic Thinking: Identifying the steps involved in solving a problem.
   • Sequence: Completing steps in the order which they must happen
   • Selection: Where a choice is made in a program depending on a condition or outcome
   • Iteration: Act of repeating or lopping specific sections of code

2. Flowcharts
