    Chapter 2: Computational Thinking & Algorithms

    Chapter 2: Computational Thinking & Algorithms


    Part (B): Short Questions
    1. Explain how computational thinking aids in the creation of
    algorithms.
    Computational thinking aids in the creation of algorithms by:

    1. Decomposing Problems: Breaking complex problems into manageable


    parts.
    2. Recognizing Patterns: Identifying similarities to reuse or create algorithms.
    3. Abstraction: Focusing on essential details to generalize solutions.
    4. Designing Algorithms: Providing a structured approach for logical and
    efficient algorithms.
    5. Iterative Refinement: Encouraging continuous testing and improvement of
    algorithms.

    Overall, it helps in systematically analyzing problems to develop effective


    algorithms.

    2. Describe the significance of abstraction in problem-solving and


    give an example.
    Abstraction is significant in problem-solving because it:

    1. Simplifies Complexity: Focuses on essential features, making problems


    easier to manage.
    2. Enhances Clarity: Identifies key elements without unnecessary details.
    3. Facilitates Generalization: Creates solutions applicable to similar
    problems.
    4. Promotes Reusability: Allows for the reuse of abstract solutions in different
    contexts.

    Example:

    In driving, focusing on general functions like accelerating and braking


    (abstraction) is more effective than getting lost in specific details about a car
    model. This helps new drivers learn essential skills efficiently.

    3. Why is it important to break down complex problems into


    smaller components during problem-solving?
    Breaking down complex problems into smaller components is important because
    it:

    1. Makes Problems Manageable.


    2. Clarifies Issues.
    3. Allows Focused Analysis.
    4. Improves Efficiency.
    5. Enhances Collaboration.
    6. Reduces Errors.

    Overall, it simplifies problem-solving and leads to quicker resolutions.

    4. Explain how logical reasoning is employed in computational


    thinking when designing algorithms.
    Logical reasoning in computational thinking is employed when designing
    algorithms by:

    1. Providing a Structured Approach: Ensures clear, logical steps.


    2. Evaluating Conditions: Enables decision-making with if-else statements.
    3. Identifying Patterns: Guides the creation of efficient, generalized solutions.
    4. Debugging and Testing: Traces logic to find errors and verify behavior.
    5. Optimizing Algorithms: Evaluates approaches to find the most efficient
    solution.

    Overall, it ensures systematic and effective problem-solving in algorithm design.

    5. Why is it important for computer scientists to understand and


    select appropriate data structures for problem-solving?

    Understanding and selecting appropriate data structures is important for computer


    scientists because they:

    1. Enhance Efficiency: Improve performance and reduce resource usage.


    2. Organize Data: Simplify data access and manipulation.
    3. Ensure Scalability: Maintain effectiveness as problems grow.
    4. Provide Functionality: Fit specific operational needs (e.g., stacks, queues).
    5. Improve Maintainability: Lead to cleaner, more understandable code.

    Overall, the right data structures optimize problem-solving in computer science.

    6. Describe how automation contributes to the efficiency of


    problem-solving processes in computer science.
    Automation enhances the efficiency of problem-solving in computer science by:

    1. Increasing Speed: Executes tasks faster than humans.


    2. Ensuring Consistency: Provides uniform results without errors.
    3. Optimizing Resources: Utilizes time and computing power effectively.
    4. Enabling Scalability: Handles larger datasets without extra effort.
    5. Allowing Focus on Complex Tasks: Frees up time for more creative
    problem-solving.
    6. Improving Accuracy: Reduces errors in processing and calculations.
    Overall, automation streamlines processes, making them faster and more reliable.
