What is the primary function of decomposition in computational thinking?

To focus on the important information only
To create a step-by-step solution to a problem
To break down a complex problem into smaller parts (correct)
To identify patterns in a problem

What is the main purpose of abstraction in computational thinking?

To focus on the important information only (correct)
To break down a complex problem into smaller parts
To develop a step-by-step solution to a problem
To identify the key elements of a problem

What is the result of not applying all four techniques of computational thinking?

The problem will be partially solved
The problem will be more complex
The solution will be incomplete
The table will probably collapse (correct)
