subproblems
Pronunciation: [sʌbˈprɒbləmz]
Word
Context: "problem-solving"
(noun) a smaller problem that is part of a larger problem. When a big problem feels overwhelming, we can break it down into subproblems to make it easier to tackle.
Example
By identifying the subproblems, we were able to solve the bigger issue much faster.
Example
Ignoring the subproblems only made the main problem harder to solve.
Example
