    Study Notes

    • Computational thinking is a process used to solve complex problems by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts.
    • The process of computational thinking involves four main steps: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design.
    • Decomposition involves breaking down a complex problem into smaller parts, making it easier to solve.
    • Pattern recognition helps in identifying patterns or trends within a problem to find efficient solutions.
    • Abstraction involves identifying similarities and differences among similar problems to work towards a solution.
    • Algorithm design is about developing step-by-step instructions for solving a problem, which can be used again for similar problems.
    • By applying computational thinking, one can effectively solve seemingly impossible problems and develop a powerful problem-solving skill for various life situations.
