- 7. Multiple ChoiceWhat is abstraction?A paintingA programming languageThis means focusing on the important details and ignoring the irrelevant informationAbstraction is the breaking down of a big problem into smaller parts.
- 8. Multiple ChoiceWhat does decomposition mean?focuses on the important information only, ignoring irrelevant detailStep by step instructions on solving a problem.Thinking like a computerThis is the breaking down of a complex problem into smaller parts
- 9. Multiple ChoiceWhat is an algorithm?A sequence of instructions on how to solve a problem.The breaking down of a problem into smaller parts.Focusing on important parts and ignoring the irrelevant detailsThe recipe for a cake
- 10. Multiple ChoiceBreaking a complex problem down into smaller problems and solving each one individually.DecompositionAbstractionProgrammingAlgorithmic Thinking
- 11. Multiple ChoicePicking out the important bits of information from the problem, ignoring the specific details that don't matter.DecompositionAbstractionProgrammingAlgorithmic Thinking
- 12. Multiple ChoiceA logical way of getting from the problem to the solution. If the steps you take to solve a problem follow an algorithm then they can be reused and adapted to solve similar problems in the future.DecompositionAbstractionProgrammingAlgorithmic Thinking
