Which of the following best describes the purpose of a structure chart in algorithm design?

Q: How do I try a free CIE Computer Science question?

Just tap any of the four options on this page — no signup, no card, nothing to install. You'll see the correct answer and a full mark-scheme-style explanation within a second. Each visit shows a fresh randomly-picked question from the live CIE IGCSE Computer Science bank, so you can keep refreshing to try different ones before deciding whether to create a free account for daily access.

Q: Is Kramizo really free for CIE Computer Science students?

Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Q: Are the Computer Science questions aligned to the CIE IGCSE syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Computer Science syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank. We match the command words (state, describe, explain, evaluate), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'll see on real CIE past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

Which of the following best describes the purpose of a structure chart in algorithm design?

Accepted Answer

To break a problem into smaller sub-tasks shown in a hierarchy — A structure chart (also called a hierarchy chart) decomposes a problem into smaller, manageable sub-tasks arranged in a hierarchical diagram, supporting top-down design. Option A describes a flowchart, not a structure chart. Option B describes a data flow or system diagram. Option D describes a trace table used in dry-running an algorithm.

Answer

To show the sequence of decisions made during program execution

Answer

To break a problem into smaller sub-tasks shown in a hierarchy

Answer

To display the flow of data between hardware components

Answer

To trace variable values through each step of an algorithm
