 Chapter 4 : System Design

4.1 DFD (0-Level, 1-Level, 2-Level, 3-Level):

DFD stands for Data Flow Diagram, which is a graphical representation of how data flows
within a system. It helps in understanding the processes, inputs, outputs, and data stores of
the system. The different levels of DFD represent increasing levels of detail.

- 0-Level DFD:

This is the highest-level DFD that provides an overview of the entire system. It shows the
major processes and the flow of data between them.

- 1-Level DFD:

This level provides a more detailed view of the system by breaking down the major
processes into subprocesses. It shows how data flows between these sub-processes.

- 2-Level DFD:

At this level, the sub-processes from the 1-Level DFD are further broken down into more
detailed processes. It provides a more granular view of the system's functionality.

- 3-Level DFD:

This is the most detailed level of DFD, where the processes are broken down into their
lowest level of detail. It shows the specific tasks and data flows within each process.

Data Structure (Tables of Database):

Data Structure refers to the organization and storage of data within a database. In the context
of system design, it involves designing the tables and their relationships in the database.
Tables in a database represent entities, and each table consists of columns (attributes) and
rows (records). The columns define the attributes of the entity, and the rows contain the
actual data for each record. The design of the data structure depends on the system's
requirements and the Relationships between entities. It ensures efficient storage, retrieval,
and manipulation of data within the system
