Decomposition Flashcards
What is decomposition?
Decomposition is breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller, more manageable parts. Each part can then be examined in detail.
Why do we decompose a complex problem?
We decompose a problem to make it easier to solve.
Which of these is an example of decomposition?
Finding out how a bicycle works by looking in detail at the different parts that make up the bicycle is an example of decomposition.
Which of these is an example of decomposition?
An example of decomposition is breaking the problem of organising a cake sale into smaller parts.
How often do we decompose problems?
We decompose problems on a daily basis, often without thinking about it.
Which of these would NOT be involved in decomposing a problem?
Adding more parts to the problem so it becomes more complex.
Which of these is an example of decomposition?
An example of decomposition would be solving the complex problem of a crime by breaking it down.
