Computational Thinking

Computational thinking refers to the common processes of solving complex problems through logical and critical thinking. It involves four main elements: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm thinking. Computational thinking breaks problems down into simple parts, recognizes patterns to apply existing solutions, ignores irrelevant details to focus on major issues, and finds the simplest steps to a problem. It has applications in many fields from programming to healthcare and can help with confidence, collaboration, innovation, problem-solving, efficiency, and quick thinking when tackling difficult tasks.

COMPUTATIONAL THINKING.
DEFINITION: refers to the common processes of solving a complex problem. It is a skill that focuses on
critical and logical thinking, looking at a problem and finding a suitable solutions. Computational thinking
is generally made up of four elements:

 Decomposition
 Pattern recognition
 Abstraction
 Algorithm thinking
1. Decomposition- focuses on breaking down of a problem into simple bits and solving
them one by one
2. Pattern recognition- focuses on sporting similarities in problems and applying solutions
that already exist
3. Abstraction- focuses on finding solutions to the major issues and ignoring those that
don’t matter
4. Algorithm thinking- focuses on looking for the simplest steps to a problem and
following them accordingly.

Computational thinking has a variety of field application for example


 Programming
 Science studies
 Mechanics
 Financial markets
 Tourism and travel
 Doctors
 Etc.
Being a skill and tool for solving problems, it is safe to say that computational
thinking has a variety of importance to the social order. For example.
 Confidence in dealing with complexity
 The ability to communicate and work with others to
achieve a common goal
 Turns consumers to creators
 Brings about innovation
 Brings about problem solving
 Saves time and money in most cases
 Enhances quick thinking in presence of difficult tasks
