Define Logical thinking?

How logical thinking helps in writing an algorithm?

• Logical thinking is only useful for mathematical problems.
• we need arrange the steps in correct order needed

• look at each piece and think about the steps that gives us the result

• We can break down a problem into smaller pieces.

1.______________ is a set of instructions

• Algorithm

• Program

• code

2. If an Algorithm doesn’t work properly. We have to _____ it

• edit

• delete

• use
