Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop too sure

00:05

brought to you by tutsi pops They're basically the inception

00:09

of candy right How many licks does it take to

00:12

get to the center of a tootsie pop We don't

00:14

know but you'll find out for us We're tasking you

00:17

with writing a function that goes through the process of

00:20

determining how many licks it takes to get to the

00:22

center of the tootsie pop To complete this complicated process

00:25

you'll need to utilize functional decomposition you know Yeah Functional

00:30

decomposition is the process of breaking one complicated task in

00:34

the multiple simpler tasks this way code is easier to

00:37

read and if something goes wrong we can isolate the

00:40

problem new specific method Your answer must break down the

00:43

task in hand into simple tasks Choice a starts to

00:47

do this but i don't think that's what's supposed to

00:49

happen No joyce beat as a maker task any simpler

00:53

In fact it just restated our task in a different

00:56

way She looks variable Our task is broken down into

00:59

manageable tasks are fourth option looks like choice See except

01:03

for the fact that it never checks if we were

01:05

done with the lollipop go on forever Our last option

01:08

though ingenious and would be the better way of achieving

01:11

our task It does not utilize functional decomposition so this

01:15

makes our answer See next time i'll show you the 00:01:19.115 --> [endTime] correct way The lichen titty pop
