Computational thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves breaking complex problems into smaller parts, recognizing patterns, abstracting essential details, and designing step-by-step algorithms to reach a solution. It is a foundational skill taught in K-12 and introductory computer science education, valuable not just for programmers but for anyone tackling structured problem-solving in science, business, or everyday decision-making. It emphasizes logical reasoning over any specific programming language or tool.
