Study Notes
Computer Science Fundamentals
- The primary focus of Computer Science is on the study of problems, problem-solving, and the solutions that come out of this problem-solving process.
Algorithms
- An algorithm is a step-by-step list of instructions to solve a problem.
- Algorithms are designed to solve a specific problem or perform a particular task.
Algorithms vs. Pseudocode
- The difference between algorithms and pseudocode lies in their representation: algorithms are written in a natural language, while pseudocode is written in a structured, programming language-like format, but is not actual code.
Problem-Solving Process
- The study of problems, problem-solving, and the solutions that come out of this problem-solving process is known as Computer Science.
- This field encompasses the entire process of identifying problems, developing solutions, and implementing them.
