Study Notes

Problem-Solving Steps in Computational Thinking and Programming

Identify the problem: define the problem and its constraints
Design: develop a plan or algorithm to solve the problem
Implement: translate the design into a programming language
Test: verify the correctness of the solution
Evaluate: assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the solution

Data Types in Python

Mutable data types: Lists, Dictionaries, Sets
Python data type mutability: values can be modified after creation

Purpose of Flowcharts

Visual representation of algorithms and programs
Simplify complex problems and programs
Identify logical flow and control structures
Aid in problem-solving and program design

Execution Modes in Python

Script mode: writing and executing code in a single session
Program mode: writing and saving code in a file before execution
Program mode advantage: code can be reused and edited

Operators in Python

in operator: test if a value is present in a certain data type (e.g. lists, strings, dictionaries)
