2.1 Algorithms

1. Computational Thinking

   • decomposition -breaking a problem down into smaller pieces
   • abstraction- removing details that are not relevant to solving the problem.
   • a way of understanding complex problems
   • algorithmic thinking- identifying logical steps from the [problem to a solution to preduce a reusable algorithm.
   • Algorithm building blocks
     • sequence- a series of steps that are to be completred one-by-oe.
       • selection- steps that only occur if a certain situation is met.
         • iteration- steps that repaet, either for a fixed number of times or until a condition is met.
