Computational Thinking

Computational Thinking

A problem-solving method that involves breaking down complex issues, understanding the problem, and developing solutions that can be understood by humans or computers.

Decomposition

Analyzing complex problems by breaking them into smaller, more manageable parts for easier understanding and solving.

Abstraction

Filtering out unnecessary details of a problem to focus on essential characteristics, simplifying the problem-solving process.

Logical Reasoning

The process of working out what instructions to give a computer to perform a task, distinct from programming itself.

Subprograms

Small programs within a main program designed to perform specific tasks, aiding in code organization and reusability.

Procedures

Subprograms that execute a specific task and end once completed, often used for tasks like resetting values in an array.

Functions

Subprograms that process data and return a result to the main program, enhancing code modularity and efficiency.

Built-in Functions

Pre-existing functions in programming languages like int, str, and asc, which perform common tasks like data type conversion or ASCII value retrieval.
