Question

Types of computational thinking techniques

Answer 1

Answer:

There are four key techniques (cornerstones) to computational thinking:

decomposition - breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller, more manageable parts

pattern recognition – looking for similarities among and within problems

abstraction – focusing on the important information only, ignoring irrelevant detail

algorithms - developing a step-by-step solution to the problem, or the rules to follow to solve the problem

Each cornerstone is as important as the others. They are like legs on a table - if one leg is missing, the table will probably collapse. Correctly applying all four techniques will help when programming a computer.
