Choose one of the Computational Thinking Practices identified in the Course and Exam Description for APCSA that speaks to you. What does it mean? Why did you choose it?

Which of the following is not one of the Big Ideas identified in the Course and Exam Description for APCSA?

• Modularity, which basically means splitting problems into manageable parts with reusable solutions

• Variables, which are basically how a program stores information to be manipulated or processed

• Control, which basically means sequencing (putting code in order), selection (making decisions with code), and iteration (getting code to repeat itself)

• Impact of computing, which basically means the effects computing has had on society and being responsible for the consequences of our programming creations

• Recursion, which basically means when a program refers to itself or a procedure calls itself
