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.
