What is decomposition in programming?

• Combining code into one block

• Writing code in a different language

• Breaking a problem into smaller parts

• Making the program longer

What is an algorithm?

• A set of steps to solve a problem

• A computer hardware

• A type of software

• An image file

Which of the following is an example of decomposition?

• Writing a full essay

• Splitting a task into smaller steps

• Copying homework

• Using a calculator

Why do we use decomposition?

• To delete code

• To make problems harder

• To simplify complex problems

• To ignore errors

Which of these best describes an algorithm?

• A rule book

• A list of instructions

• A computer

• A drawing

What is the first step before writing an algorithm?

• Debugging

• Decomposition

• Printing

• Running the program

Decomposition helps programmers to:

• Understand the problem better

• Write longer code

• Avoid planning

• Remove all variables

Which one is NOT part of an algorithm?

• Input

• Output

• Process

• Decoration

An algorithm must be:

• Fancy

• Repetitive

• Clear and ordered

• Full of colors

When do we use decomposition?

• After testing

• After debugging

• Before solving a big problem

• After writing variables
