Digital Literacy Terms

What is an algorithm?

• A type of computer program

• A mathematical equation

• A physical object

• A step-by-step procedure or a set of rules for solving a specific problem or accomplishing a specific task.

What is abstraction in computational thinking?

• Adding unnecessary complexity to a problem or system.

• Ignoring details and focusing only on the big picture.

• Figuring out the important part of the problem or task.

• Using concrete examples to solve abstract problems.

Explain the concept of decomposition in computational thinking.

• Decomposition is the process of breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller, more manageable parts.

• Decomposition is a method used to combine multiple smaller problems into a larger, more complex problem.

• Decomposition is a technique used to analyze data and identify patterns or trends.

• Decomposition creates larger problems.

How does pattern recognition help in problem-solving?

• Pattern recognition only adds complexity to problem-solving.

• Pattern recognition can only be applied to certain types of problems.

• Pattern recognition is not useful in problem-solving.

• Pattern recognition helps in problem-solving by identifying similarities and regularities in data or situations.

In the computational thinking method, what is an algorithm?

• Designing an algorithm, implementing the algorithm, testing and debugging the solution, and analyzing the efficiency of the algorithm.

• A method for creating a set of steps or instructions that will be used to solve a problem or accomplish a task.

• Understanding the problem, designing an algorithm, implementing the algorithm, testing the solution, and analyzing the efficiency of the algorithm.

• Understanding the problem, implementing the algorithm, testing and debugging the solution, and analyzing the efficiency of the algorithm.

Which part of the computational thinking process is used to correct errors that may have occurred?

What does 'Sequencing' mean in programming?

• A part of a program that does not work correctly.

• Putting commands in the correct order so that computers can read the commands.

• An action that causes something to happen.

• Writing instructions for a computer.

What type of code is this an example of?

• Sequence

• Loop

• Pseudocode

• Coding

A particular way to store and organize data within a computer program is called:

What is coding?

• A set of instructions expressed in a programming language.

• The act of writing computer programs in a programming language.

• A method of thinking when computing.

• A way to create objects.
