Unit 4: Programming
LEARNING AIM A;

Examine the computational thinking skills and
principles of computer programming.


Computational thinking helps us to understand the problem and
solve the problem using the computational skills and develop the
possible solution of the problem. These skills allow to make critical
and logical thinking in order to solve problems across all disciplines,
including math, science and humanities. Computer understand the
different language which is different from the human language.
Programmer used two different ways to solve the problems.
1. Represent the information
2. Transform the information
In order to solve the problem on computer, we need to represent
the information and transform the information from one
represented to another which can only be done if we know how to
understand the computer by using computer language.
There is the thing we need to know to represent the information to
computer. So, computer can work according to the information
provided and solve the problem. Computer understand some
different kind of language which is made up of different kind of data
type, variables, characters, numbers and list of arrays to manipulate
the data.
These are some common datatype through the computer language is
made up of which allow programmer to represent the
information/language or encode all the "facts" necessary to
represent to solve the problem.
