Structure diagrams
Another way of representing a program design is to use a structure diagram. Structure diagrams break down a problem into smaller sections. These smaller sections can then be worked on one at a time.
This can be good for big projects where a large problem can be split into smaller tasks for separate groups, or individuals, to work on.
Below is an example of how a structure diagram might be used to break a large problem down.
This shows how you can take a complex problem and start breaking it down into more manageable chunks.
In reality, a complex project like building a house would have many more stages, but this example shows that structure diagrams can help to break down problems when designing a program.
You would most likely use a structure diagram if you were designing a game and wanted to break down the overall design problem into individual elements.
