UNIT I
UNIT I COMPUTATIONAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
Fundamentals of Computing – Identification of Computational Problems -Algorithms, building
blocks of algorithms (statements, state, control flow, functions), notation (pseudo code, flow chart,
programming language), algorithmic problem solving, simple strategies for developing algorithms (iteration,
recursion). Illustrative problems: find minimum in a list, insert a card in a list of sorted cards, guess an integer
number in a range, Towers of Hanoi.
