What to Focus On

  • Computerisation means using computers to automate routine human tasks efficiently.
  • Problem solving in computer science means identifying a problem, developing an algorithm, and implementing it as a program.
  • Computers need precise instructions; they do not solve problems independently.
  • Problem analysis identifies inputs, outputs, and required processing.
  • An algorithm is a finite, exact sequence of steps.
  • Coding converts the algorithm into a high-level program.
  • An algorithm is a finite sequence of exact steps.
  • The origin of the term Algorithm is traced to Al-Khwarizmi around 850 AD.
  • A good algorithm is precise, unique, finite, and has input and output.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A computer can solve a problem on its own if the input is given.

Algorithm means a program written in a programming language.

Pseudocode is executable by the computer because it looks like code.
