Interpreting algorithms

Question 1

What are the three key techniques for computational thinking?

Answer 1

Decomposition
Abstraction
Algorithmic thinking

Question 2

Define decomposition

Answer 2

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

Question 3

Define Abstraction

Answer 3

Picking up the important bits of information from a question, ignoring specific details

Question 4

Define algorithmic thinking

Answer 4

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