Algorithms: Decompositon.

Question 1

What is decompositon?

Answer 1

• Breaking a complex problem down into a smaller and manageable parts.
• Dealing with many different stages at once = more difficult.
• Breaking down a problem into smaller problems and solving each one at a time= Easier.

Question 2

What are the advantages of problem decomposition?

Answer 2

• Makes problems easier to solve.
• Different people can work on different parts of a problem at the same time, reduces development time.
• Program components developed in one programme can easily be used in other programmes.
