Ct Facets

Generalisation

Taking a solution to a problem and generalize so that, can be applied to smilar problems

Abstraction

Idetify the most important aspects of a problem

Problem Decomposition

Break down problems into smaller and focusing on solving each part of problem.

Algorithm Design

Create a step bt step processes

Iteration

Repeat design processes to refine solutions, until the ideal results is achieved

Debugging

Identifying and fix the error

Concepts

Sequences

A key concept in programming is that a particular activity or task is expressed as a series of individual steps or instructions that can be executed by the computer.

Loops

Loops are a mechanism for running the same sequence multiple times.

Events

one thing causing another thing to happen – are an essential component of interactive media.

Parallelism

The sequences of instructions happening at the same time.

Conditionals

-The ability to make decisions based on certain conditions, which supports the expression of multiple outcomes.

Operators

Operators provide support for mathematical, logical, and string expressions, enabling the programmer to perform numeric and string manipulations.

Data

Data involves storing, retrieving, and updating values.
