Why is decomposition an important part of computational thinking?
Why is decomposition an important part of computational thinking?
Decomposition is important in computational thinking because it helps make a problem more manageable, helps problem solvers better define and understand the problem being solved, and enables them to simplify the problem through pattern recognition and abstraction.
What is the definition of computational thinking?
What is the definition of computational thinking?
Computational thinking is the process of identifying a clear, defined, step-by-step solution to a complex problem. Its definition includes breaking down a problem into smaller pieces, recognizing patterns and eliminating extraneous details so that the step-by-step solution can be replicated by humans or computers.
