34. Algorithms- Decomposition Quiz

What does decomposition mean in computational thinking?

• Combining a complex problem into a single part

• Breaking a complex problem down into smaller parts

• Solving complex problems without breaking them down

• Ignoring complex problems

Why is decomposition considered a core skill for programmers?

• It makes problems more complex

• It allows tackling multiple problems at once

• It increases development time and cost

• It makes problems easier to solve

What is an advantage of problem decomposition?

• It limits the number of people working on a problem

• It reduces development time and cost

• It makes problems harder to solve

• It increases the complexity of a problem

How is problem decomposition used in everyday life?

• It is not used in everyday life

• It is used to make problems more complex

• It is used to break down complex problems without thinking about it

• It is used to make problems harder to solve

In the example of crossing a road, what is the first step of problem decomposition?

• Looking left and right

• Pressing the button at the pelican crossing

• Crossing the road without looking

• Stopping before crossing the road

In the example of creating a computer game, what is the first step of programming a breakout clone?

• Drawing the ball

• Drawing the tiles

• Getting the ball to accurately bounce around the screen

• Getting the paddle to interact with the user

What is an advantage of different people working on different parts of a problem at the same time?

• It increases development time and cost

• It makes the problem harder to solve

• It reduces development time and cost

• It limits the number of people working on a problem

How can program components developed in one program be used in other programs?

• They can be used but with increased development time and cost

• They can only be used in future iterations of the same game

• They cannot be used in other programs

• They can be easily used in other programs

What is an example of adding flair to a computer game?

• Getting the ball to accurately bounce around the screen

• Drawing the tiles

• Writing the code to draw the tiles

• Improving the graphics

What is the object of the breakout clone game?

• To increase development time and cost

• To make the game more complex

• To clear all the tiles without losing the ball

• To lose the ball
