Computational Thinking Quiz

What is computational thinking?

• A problem-solving method that involves breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts.

• The study of computer hardware and software.

• The process of writing code in a programming language.

• The ability to use computers without understanding their underlying principles.

Which of the following is NOT a key component of computational thinking?

• Pattern Recognition

• Decomposition

• Abstraction

• Algorithmic Dynamics

What does the term 'Algorithm' refer to in computational thinking?

• A special type of computer hardware.

• A step-by-step set of instructions for solving a particular problem.

• The process of debugging code.

• The physical components of a computer system.

What is the purpose of abstraction in computational thinking?

• To make problems more complex.

• To simplify complex problems by focusing on the essential details.

• To slow down the computation process.

• To introduce errors into a program.

Which of the following is an example of pattern recognition in computational thinking?

• Identifying and predicting trends in a set of data.

• Counting the number of lines in a computer program.
