Decomposition
Flashcards do conjunto (3)
- 1Decomposition involves breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller parts that are more manageable and easier to understand. The smaller parts can then be examined and solved, or designed individually, as they are simpler to work with.If a problem is not decomposed, it is much harder to solve. Dealing with many different stages all at once is much more difficult than breaking a problem down into a number of smaller problems and solving each one, one at a time. Breaking the problem down into smaller parts means that each smaller problem can be examined in more detail.
- 2Similarly, trying to understand how a complex system works is easier using decomposition. For example, understanding how a bicycle works is more straightforward if the whole bike is separated into smaller parts and each part is examined to see how it works in more detail.We do many tasks on a daily basis without even thinking about – or decomposing – them, such as brushing our teeth. o decompose the problem of how to brush our teeth, we would need to consider:
which toothbrush to use
how long to brush for
how hard to press on our teeth
what toothpaste to use - 3Imagine that a crime has been committed. Solving a crime can be a very complex problem as there are many things to consider. For example, a police officer would need to know the answer to a series of smaller problems: what crime was committed when the crime was committed where the crime was committed what evidence there is if there were any witnesses if there have recently been any similar crimes The complex problem of the committed crime has now been broken down into simpler problems that can be examined individually, in detail.
