Computational Thinking

Computational Thinking is a problem-solving process that involves formulating problems and solutions in a way that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent, distinguishing it from other cognitive approaches through its emphasis on decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic design.
