1.1.2 - Be able to decompose problems by:

identifying and describing the main features of a problem or process, breaking a problem down into smaller, more manageable parts.

What is decomposition?

**Decomposition** is one of the four **cornerstones** of Computer Science. It 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.**  

How is decomposition used in code?

\
Decomposition in code is breaking down complex problems into smaller parts, which can be solved independently, making the code easier to organize, reuse, and maintain.

What the advantage of decomposition?

* Easy to understand  
* Manageable  
* Increase efficiency productivity  
* Designed individually 

What the disadvantage of decomposition?

* Take longer because everyone wants to share their methods 
* It is like a dictatorship!
