    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.
