Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which computational thinking technique involves breaking a problem down into smaller parts?
A
Decomposition
B
Abstraction
C
Algorithms
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -decomposition-breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller, more manageable parts. pattern recognition – looking for similarities among and within problems. abstraction – focusing on the important information only, ignoring irrelevant detail.

Detailed explanation-2: -Decomposition: Decomposition is breaking the problem into smaller parts. Pattern Recognition: Pattern recognition involves finding the similarities or patterns among small, decomposed problems that can help us solve more complex problems more efficiently.

Detailed explanation-3: -Computational thinking is an approach in which you break down problems into distinct parts, look for similarities, identify the relevant information and opportunities for simplification, and create a plan for a solution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposition in computational thinking is the process of breaking down a problem into a number of smaller problems that can more easily be addressed.
