Computational thinking

Question 1

What is decomposition?

Answer 1

Breaking a complex problem down into smaller problems and solving each one individually.

Question 2

What is abstraction?

Answer 2

Picking out the important bits of information from the problem, ignoring the specific details that don’t matter.

Question 3

What is algorithmic thinking?

Answer 3

A logical way of getting from the problem to the solution. If the steps you take to solve a problem follow an algorithm then they can be reused and adapted to solve similar problems in the future.
