The concept of decomposition in computer science and engineering is considered a fundamental component computational thinking prevalent design algorithms, software construction, hardware design, more. We propose simple natural formalization sequential decomposition, which task decomposed into two sub-tasks, with the first sub-task to be executed before second executed. These tasks are specified...
