Which of the following organizational techniques best allows a programmer to systematically solve a problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable steps before any code is written?
The correct answer is "Writing pseudocode". Pseudocode is an informal, high-level, language-neutral outline of an algorithm. It lets programmers focus on the overall logic and sequence of steps without worrying about precise syntax, making it easier to refine the solution and translate it into actual code later. Flow-chart concepts are useful for visualizing logic, but pseudocode is typically preferred when the goal is a detailed textual breakdown of steps. Developing a vector is a task-specific programming activity, and designing a user interface relates to presentation rather than problem decomposition.
