What is computational thinking? - Computational thinking is a thought process involved in formulating a problem and expressing its solution in such a way that computers can effectively carry it out., Why is developing software a complex process? - Because software development involves innovative thinking processes and complex testing procedures., What are the components of computational thinking? - Abstraction, Decomposition & Algorithm design, What are the steps involved in problem solving? - Understand the problem. Construct a plan to solve the problem. Apply the plan. Check for errors and look for improvements in the current plan., What steps are involved in understanding a problem? - We need all data to understand the problem. Then, we must check whether the problem is solvable. If it is solvable, a complex problem can be broken down into simpler modules., What are the characteristics of a proper solution? - Error-free, efficient and reusable., What is abstraction? - A component of computational thinking where certain non-essential characteristics of objects or systems are removed so that it is reduced to a simple set of characteristics., List some examples of abstraction. - Variables and functions in programming. Layering in computer networks., What is decomposition? - A component of computational thinking where a large problem is broken down into smaller chunks that can then be solved using computing., What is pattern recognition? - A concept where similar problems are solved by reusing solutions., What are the advantages of using pattern recognition? - Saves effort and time., What is an algorithm? - A problem is broken into a series of logical steps called an algorithm., In what forms, is an algorithm represented? - Flowchart and pseudocode, What is a flowchart? - A method of representing algorithms in pictorial form, depicting the steps and order to be followed to perform a task., What is pseudocode? - A method of representing an algorithm using simple words and mathematical operators., What is the function of a MOD operator? - A MOD operator is used to find remainder of a division operation.,
