Ready for a brain teaser? Can you tell me what computational thinking is?

• Is it the process of designing a computer system?

• Or maybe it's the process of extracting essential information for a solution?

• Could it be the process of breaking a complex problem into smaller parts?

• Or is it the process of identifying similar problem patterns?

Ready for a brain teaser? Can you tell me what 'abstraction' is in the world of computing?

• Is it the process of designing a super cool computer system?

• Or, is it the process of extracting the most essential information for a solution?

• Maybe, it's the process of breaking a complex problem into smaller, manageable parts?

• Or, could it be the process of identifying similar problem patterns?

Ready for a brain teaser? Can you tell me what 'decomposition' means in the world of problem-solving?

• Is it designing a fancy new computer system?

• Or maybe it's extracting the juicy details for a solution?

• Could it be breaking a big, scary problem into cute, little manageable parts?

• Or is it identifying patterns in problems, like a detective?

Ready for a brain teaser? Can you tell me what an algorithm is?

• Is it the process of designing a super cool computer system?

• Or maybe it's the process of extracting essential clues for a solution?

• Could it be the process of breaking a complex mystery into smaller parts?

• Or is it the process of identifying similar problem patterns like a detective?

Ready for a brain teaser? Can you tell me what pattern recognition is?

• Is it the process of designing a super cool computer system?

• Or maybe it's the process of extracting essential information for a solution, like a detective?

• Could it be the process of breaking a complex problem into smaller, bite-sized parts?

• Or is it the process of identifying similar problem patterns, like a puzzle solver?

Ready for a brain teaser? Can you tell me what flowcharts are used for?

• Are they used to show the structure of an algorithm?

• Or to represent a solution using keywords and mathematical operators?

• Maybe to write a program in a high-level language?

• Or to calculate the average of a set of values?

Ready for a brain teaser? Can you tell me what pseudocode is?

• Is it a method of showing the detailed logical steps in an algorithm?

• Or, is it a specific programming language?

• Maybe, it's a way to draw regular polygons?

• Or, could it be a flowchart?

Imagine you're a detective in the world of pseudocode. What would be the purpose of your trusty identifier table?

• It's your secret notebook, storing meaningful names for variables

• It's your calculator, performing all your calculations

• It's your magic box, where you input values

• It's your megaphone, helping you output messages

Hey there, code wizard! Can you tell us which operator we use for addition in pseudocode?

• +

• -

• *

• /

Ready for a brain teaser? Can you guess what a flowchart's main job is?

• Is it to show the structure of an algorithm?

• Or maybe it's to represent a solution using keywords and mathematical operators?

• Could it be to write a program in a high-level language?

• Or is it to calculate the average of a set of values?
