Computational thinking

ional thinking is using abstraction and decomposition when attacking a large complex task or designing a large complex system. It is separation of concerns. It is choosing an appropriate representation for a problem or modeling the relevant aspects of a problem to make it tractable. It is using invariants to describe a system's behavior succinctly and declaratively. It is having the confidence we can safely use, modify, and influence a large complex system without understanding its every detail. It is LISAHANEY Viewpoint Jeannette M. Wing Computational Thinking It represents a universally applicable attitude and skill set everyone, not just computer scientists, would be eager to learn and use.
