What is Computational Thinking?
Computational thinking describes the processes and approaches we draw on when thinking about how a computer can help us to solve complex problems and create systems.
These are the processes involved below;
# Identification
What makes a computer scientist is being able to break down a big problem into the smaller problems that make it up. If you can break down a big problem into smaller problems then you can give them to a computer to solve.
Once the problem is recognised, a pattern would be needed to put it in its simplest terms so that it can be used whenever we need to use it. For example, if you were studying the patterns of how an ATM works, you might need consider to consider the ATM usage rate of highly populated areas.
Once we have our patterns and abstractions, we can start to write the steps that a computer can use to solve the problem. This is done by creating Algorithms. Algorithms aren't actually computer code, but are independent instructions that could be turned into computer code
