Section 19.5 Top-Down Design
Top-Down Design is a method for solving problems in which the problem is
broken down into smaller sub-problems , which are solved (perhaps by breaking into sub-sub-problems...) to derive a solution to the main problem.
This is the technique you should use for any problem!
Functions are ideal for this purpose and reinforce this type of solution strategy.
Investigate 19.3 .
How can implementing a top-down design method while coding potentially lead to an easier debugging process?
