Lecture 7: Decomposition, Abstraction, and Functions

Name: Lecture 7: Decomposition, Abstraction, and Functions
Uploaded: 2024-04-11T14:01:29Z
Duration: 45 min 54 s
Description: An introduction to functions and their decomposition, abstractions, and specifications. Functions allow us to suppress detail from a user and capture computation within a black box. A programmer writes functions with 0 or more inputs and something to return. A function only runs when it is called and the entire function call is replaced with the return value.
