Algorithms and Computational Thinking With Functions

The document describes algorithms for common computational tasks like finding the difference, product, average, and volume calculations for different shapes. It includes algorithms to convert between seconds to minutes, pints to liters, and calculating speed from time and distance traveled. The algorithms use functions and conditionals to break problems down into logical steps and calculate the desired output.
