Computer Science What is computer science?Computer science is the study of computation itself: how to solve problems using precise, step-by-step procedures called algorithms, and how to organize information so those procedures can work with it efficiently.Algorithms: precise step-by-step proceduresAn algorithm is a finite, exact sequence of steps that solves a problem. Consider searching for a name in an unsorted list of 100 names: a linear search checks each entry one at a time, from the start, until it finds a match or reaches the end.
