Q2 Decomposition: Introduction

Introduction

Decomposition is the first stage of computational thinking. You may have heard the word about something dying or rotting. When something decomposes, it breaks down into a different substance.

In the context of computational thinking, decomposition involves breaking down a complex problem into smaller, manageable chunks. The problem can be as small as learning to tie your shoes or as large as constructing a new car that drives itself!

In this Quest, you will learn how to break a complex problem into smaller chunks.
