2.1 Structure Diagrams Flashcards
What is one method of designing a solution to a problem?
Creating structure diagrams
What do structure diagrams illustrate?
Illustrate problem decomposition
Who and what can structure diagrams be used for?
- They can be used for developers to understand a problem to code and to share with users during systems analysis
How are structure diagrams produced?
They are produced by using a method known as step-wise refinement
How do we break a problem down?
We break a problem down into smaller and smaller components using decomposition
What will happen with some areas of program when breaking them down?
Some will need more breaking down than others
What should the lowest level nodes achieve?
They should achieve a single task
How can the lowest level nodes be coded?
These can be coded as a single module or sub-program
