Computational thinking refers to the ability of humans to think in a way that is similar to computers - breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts and solving them systematically. It involves a set of mental skills and approaches that are essential for effective problem-solving, such as logical reasoning, algorithmic thinking, abstraction, data analysis, and pattern recognition. Computational thinking is not just relevant to computer science and programming but can be applied to a wide range of fields and everyday life situations that require problem-solving.
