Computational Method (Abstraction, Decomposition, different processing types)

Question 1

Decomposition (procedurally)- definition

Answer 1

The breaking down of a problem into smaller parts that are easier to solve. The smaller parts can sometimes be solved recursively; that is, they can be run again and again until that part of the problem is solved.

Question 2

Abstraction definition

Answer 2

Process of filtering out all non-important details, to concentrate on the important details

Question 3

Benefits of abstraction

Answer 3

Solving a problem abstractly makes a problem easier to understand also speeds up the problem solving process

Question 4

Concurrency

Answer 4

Processes are happening at the same time/at overlapping times
Only 1 process can actually happen at a time on a single core processor,
concurrent tries to simulate multiple processes
One process may need to start before a second has finished
Individual processes are threads, each thread has a life line
