Front

Benefits of modularisation

Back

• Elements can be allocated to different programmers to speed up development

Programmers to can allocated to solve those parts where they have a specialism

Debugging the elements individually is more effective

Front

Limitations of modularisation

Back

This approach assumes that the whole solution is knowable in advance

Not suitable for event-driven programming

Front

Computational thinking

Back

a problem-solving technique that can be applied to real-world problems

Front

Top-down analysis

Back

Attempts to break down a large prpoblem into smaller parts

Front

Bottom-up analysis

Back

Builds a solution by solving small prpoblems anbd integrating them into a larger solution

Front

Modularisation

Back

Separates the funcitonal parts pof a program into independent modules that can be reused to solved a solution

Front

Debug

Back

Locate and fix errors in a program

Front

Decomposition

Back

Breaking down a complex problem into its component parts, which are easier to understand and solve

Front

Benefits of decomposition

Back

Each sub-problem can be understood

Each sub-prpoblem can be developed separately

Each sub-problem can eb tested seprately

Front

Limitations of decomposition

Back

The original problem must be fully understood

The sub-problems may not provide a fully functional solution to the original problem
