A-Level Computer Science Paper 4: Computational Thinking and Problem-Solving

This product covers the entire Cambridge International A-Level Computer Science 9618 Paper 4 content for exams in June and November 2021, 2022, 2023.

This product contains up to 30 practical videos and worked examples in Python from through binary search, bubble sort, imperative programming, and all the way to object-oriented programming (OOP) in its most simplified way that ultimately encourages learners to meet the needs of Higher education courses in computer science as well as twenty-first-century digital employers.

It further encourages learners to think creatively, through applying practical programming solutions, demonstrating that they are effective
users of technology.

Some of the sub-topics include:

Show understanding of linear and binary searching methods;
Show understanding of insertion sort and bubble sort methods;
Show understanding of and use Abstract Data Types (ADT);
Use of Big O notation to specify time and space complexity;
How recursion is expressed in a programming language;
Write and trace recursive algorithms;
When the use of recursion is beneficial and
Understanding of the terminology associated with OOP (including objects, properties, methods,
classes, inheritance, polymorphism, containment (aggregation), encapsulation, getters, setters, instances).
