Computing Problem-Solving Quiz

What is the primary goal of problem-solving in computing?

• Writing complex code

• Identifying, analyzing, and designing solutions

• Using only one programming language

• Avoiding algorithm design

What is an essential step in structuring solutions to problems in computing?

• Using multiple programming languages

• Algorithm design

• Debugging code directly

• Memorizing syntax

What is a decomposition diagram?

• A type of database model

• A diagram that breaks a complex problem into smaller, manageable parts

• A detailed flowchart of program execution

• A representation of pseudocode

Which of the following is NOT a use case for decomposition diagrams?

• Breaking down complex software systems

• Structuring business processes

• Debugging compiled programs

• Project management

When should you use a decomposition diagram?

• When designing user interfaces

• When dividing a large system or problem into manageable parts

• When defining programming language syntax

• When only using machine learning algorithms

What is a flowchart?

• A document listing all programming languages

• A high-level code execution plan

• A visual representation of an algorithm using symbols

• A method for writing syntax-free code

Which symbol in a flowchart represents a decision-making step?

• Rectangle

• Diamond
