🧠 Computational thinking, tools for problem solving & algorithm design

Process of computational thinking:​

• Decomposition - breaking down a complex problem or system into manageable components
• Pattern recognition - identification of patterns within problems
• Abstraction - analyse information, filter and remove unnecessary detail
• Action:
- Sequence - order of processes
- Selection - execution only when conditions met
- Iteration - repetition until conditions met

Tools for problem solving and algorithm design:​

• Decomposition diagram
• Flowchart
• Pseudo code
