Logical Reasoning & Debugging

Logical reasoning is thinking about the order of steps (the sequence) and the selection rules ('if ... then' and 'repeat until...').

Logical reasoning

You can run through an algorithm by following all the steps.
You can run through the steps in an algorithm to check if the algorithm will work.

Debugging

If your algorithm does not work, you have to debug it.
Debugging is finding where the problem is and then fixing it.

How to debug an algorithm

Debugging an algorithm needs patience and computational thinking!
Computer programmers have programs which help them find where the bugs are.
