Why do we need to look for patterns in problems?

• Patterns make it easier for us to solve complex problems

• We don't need to look for patterns

• Patterns make it more difficult complex problems

Answer explanation

Recognizing a pattern, or similar characteristics helps break down the problem and also build a construct as a path for the solution.

You can use this in Math! Recognizing the type of problem can help you find the solution. This is exactly what we do in Computer Science

How often do we use pattern recognition?

• Never, computers do this for us.

• Occasionally, but we don't really need to.

• Every day, often without thinking about it.
