Structure diagrams

Structure diagrams

1. computational thinking

   • abstraction
     • Removes unnecessary details to make problems less complex
   • decomposition
     • Breaks down a problem to make them easier to solve
   • algorithmic thinking
     • Logical steps to solve a complex problem

2. They are used to show the smaller tasks of a larger problem

3. They're used to decompose the program that you want to write into smaller manageable modules

   • Each of these modules can be decomposed even further into smaller modules until you have modules that perform individual tasks

4. Subprograms can then be written to carry out each individual task
