Computational Basics Quiz

What is computational thinking?

• The process of thinking like a computer

• A method of problem-solving that involves breaking down problems into manageable parts

• A way to write computer programs

• A type of computer hardware

Which of the following is an example of abstraction?

• Writing a detailed step-by-step guide

• Creating a simplified model of a complex system

• Breaking a problem into smaller parts

• Following a recipe exactly

What does decomposition involve?

• Combining multiple problems into one

• Breaking down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable parts

• Ignoring the problem

• Solving the problem in one step

Which logic gate outputs true only if both inputs are true?

• OR

• AND

• NOT

• XOR

What is the purpose of a NOT gate in logic circuits?

• To output true if both inputs are true

• To output the opposite of the input

• To output true if at least one input is true

• To combine multiple inputs

Which of the following is an example of problem-solving in computational thinking?

• Ignoring the problem

• Guessing the solution

• Using a systematic approach to find a solution

• Asking someone else to solve it

What is the main goal of abstraction in computational thinking?

• To make the problem more complex

• To focus on the specific details

• To simplify the problem by focusing on the important parts

• To ignore the problem

Which logic gate outputs true if at least one input is true?

• AND

• OR

• NOT

• NAND

What does the XOR gate do?

• Outputs true if both inputs are true

• Outputs true if both inputs are false

• Outputs true if only one input is true

• Outputs the opposite of the input

Which of the following is NOT a step in computational thinking?

• Decomposition

• Abstraction

• Guessing
