This week on edX, I started on the topic on logical thinking which would proceed into computational thinking.
We started out on learning the origins of logical thinking in ancient Greece being Plato, Aristotle, and other philosophers.
The original logical thinkers started a way of thinking that helped computer engineers to create code for the machines. When thinking about how code is formed, you have to think basically in a step by step fashion. Since all code is eventually broken down into ones and zeros, every code has to leave no stone unturned. It is like explaining how to make cake to a person who has never had cake before. If you leave out one thing the cake will not taste good. In code if you leave out something, the code either won't work or it will not do what you asked.
