what is diffrence between "think of" and "think about"?

Answer 1

Think of implies a specific bit of informaiton or data. Think about implies critical thinking skills to come to a conclusion of a specific idea or concept

Answer 2

Both can be used in similar scircumstances, but I personally reckon that "think of" implies creativity that "think about" does not include. If you say, for example, the subject is "sorting algorithms", I can "think of" such algorithms as a pattern, and create one on that basis. If instad I "think about" such algorithms I note the attributes of existing algorithms rather than their patterns. From "thinking about" a subject I can review existing "solutions" and select the most appropriate for my circumstances. From "thinking of" a subject I can note teh requirements, and how the whole subject relates to my particular focus.
