02 Problem analysis using decomposition and abstraction

What is the purpose of problem analysis in computer science?

• To create random solutions to problems
• To solve the problem without understanding it
• To ignore all details of the problem
• To break down a problem into smaller parts

What does decomposition involve in problem-solving?

• Breaking a complex problem into smaller, manageable parts
• Ignoring unnecessary details of a problem
• Creating a final solution without analysis
• Only focusing on the end result

In the context of baking a cake, what is an example of decomposition?

• Measuring ingredients and mixing them
• Thinking about the cake's taste
• Ignoring the baking time
• Focusing only on the decoration

What is abstraction in problem-solving?

• Breaking down the problem into every minor detail
• Creating complex solutions without analysis
• Listing every detail of a problem
• Focusing on essential aspects while ignoring details

How can decomposition help in programming a game like tic-tac-toe?

• By allowing you to tackle each function separately
• By making the game more complicated
• By ignoring the rules of the game
• By focusing only on the graphics

Why is collaborative problem solving important in learning?

• It encourages teamwork and reinforces concepts
• It allows students to work alone
• It prevents students from sharing ideas
• It focuses only on individual performance

What is the first step in problem analysis?

• Examining the problem closely
• Jumping straight to a solution
• Ignoring the problem completely
• Only focusing on the outcome

Which of the following best describes the process of decomposition?

• Focusing on details rather than the overall problem
• Creating a solution without planning
• Ignoring the problem's components
• Identifying tasks to manage a complex problem

In a flowchart, what is typically represented?

• Unrelated information
• Random thoughts on the problem
• The final solution only
• The steps involved in solving a problem

What should students focus on when applying abstraction?

• The important aspects of a problem
• All details of the problem
• The final solution only
• Ignoring the problem altogether
