COMPUTATIONAL THINKNG AND GETTING STARTED WITH PYTHON

THE FIRST STEP IN PROBLEM SOLVING IS

• UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM

• IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM

• DEVELOPING ALGORITHM/FLOWCHART

• LISTING THE POSSIBLE OUTCOME

WICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CORRECT

• TESTING AND DEBUGGING REQUIRED CHECK THE SOFTWARE WHETHER IT IS PROVIDING THE SOLUTION IN GOOD MANNER OR NOT.

• AN ALGORITHM IS A STEP BY STEP PROCESS OF A SOLUTION OF A COMPLEX PROBLEM.

• CODING IS PROCESS OF CONVERTING THE ALGORITHM INTO PROGRAM WHICH CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY THE COMPUTER TO GENERATE THE DESIRED SOLUTION

• ALL OF THE ABOVE

WHICH STEP IS NOT INCLUDED IN PROBLEM SOLVING ?

• ANALYSING THE PROBLEM

• CODING

• FLOWCHART

• COMPILATION AND EXECUTION.

____METHOD IS INDICATED BY STEPS OF FINDING THAT THE GIVEN NUMBER IS ODD OR EVEN

• PSEUDO CODE METHOD

• FLOWCHART METHOD

• ALGORITHM METHOD

• NONE OF THESE

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER FIELD?

• SEQUENTIAL INSTRUCTION GIVEN TO COMPUTER

• RANDOM INSTRUCTION GIVEN TO COMPUER

• ASCENDING INSTRUCTION GIVEN TO COMPUTER

• DESCENDING INSTRUCTION GIVEN TO COMPUTER

What is computational thinking?

• It allows you to break down a large / complex problem into smaller parts.
• It is thinking like a robot
• It is being able to bake a cake.
• It is creating a coding solution to a problem.

What is an algorithm?

• A sequence of instructions on how to solve a problem.
• The breaking down of a problem into smaller parts.
• Focusing on important parts and ignoring the irrelevant details
• The recipe for a cake

What are the two main ways that we represent an algorithm?

• By drawing pictures 
• Using flowcharts and pseudo code
• Using python and small basic
• Using Scratch and python
