Computational thinking

- It's raining, it's pouring, the-
- QUIT IT! SCRUB THE DECK!
- Hello, I am Captain Computational Thinking, and I am going to tell you what that is.
- Computational thinking is a type of problem solving skill including Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstractions, and Algorithmic Thinking.
- sure
- forget him. lets play cards
- This map is very complicated. Let's use decomposition for this problem.That means breaking the problem into more manageble parts.
- Go fish.
- Ah, that's better!
- haha, yes!
- no it's not!
- that's cheating!
- Now let's use Abstraction to simplify the problem.
- WHY ARE YOU PLAYING CARDS!? START SCRUBBING THE DECK!
- And yes, I know if I ignore the castles they will blow me to smithereens, but for now, we're just trying to plan a route.
- slosh, splish, splash
- Now that we simplified the problem, let's use Pattern Recognition to find similarities between all of these areas.
- Sploosh
- YOU SPILLED THE BUCKET! DO YOU HAVE BUTTERFINGERS OR WHAT!?
- Hm. Looks like all these areas are rivers with land on both sides.
- *inaudible
- Hm. Looks like all these areas are rivers with land on both sides.
- Easy enough without the enemies. We can just follow the river to the location. But I'm going to have to get the cannon crew ready.
- Captain, where's the wine?
- It's right there, you dummy!
- Now all we need to do is make a simple multi-step plan.
- Step 1- Move southwest 2 miles. Step 2- Move northwest 3 miles. Step 3- Move north slightly more for 4 miles. Step 4- Move southwest until you reach the X. You're going to have to go on land.
- *glug glug glug
- 5 DAYS LATER
- Me and the crew made sure there were no errors. We tried out the route and managed to find the treasure. And that is debugging, checking for errors in your solution.
