Understanding of code is critical for debugging computer programs. Chunking, breaking code into smaller parts, has been proven to be an effective strategy for analyzing code at various levels of abstraction. Novice debuggers struggle to comprehend code and recognize its underlying structure and components. They often debug code in an arbitrary and…

The design of algorithms is one of the hardest topics of high school computer science. This is mainly due to the universality of algorithms as solution methods that guarantee the calculation of a correct solution for all potentially infinitely many instances of an algorithmic problem. The goal of this paper is to present a comprehensible and…

It is argued that logic, and in particular mathematical logic, should play a key role in the undergraduate curriculum for students in the computing fields, which include electrical engineering (EE), computer engineering (CE), and computer science (CS). This is based on (1) the history of the field of computing and its close ties with logic, (2)…
