A structure diagram is a visual tool used in GCSE Computer Science to show the organisation and components of a system or program. It helps students understand how different parts of a system fit together and work as a whole. By breaking down complex systems into smaller, more manageable pieces, structure diagrams make it easier to see how each part interacts with the others. They often use simple boxes and lines to represent parts like modules or processes, showing the hierarchy and relationships between them. This can be particularly helpful when planning or explaining how a program is designed.
