a problem where the answer is always YES/NO
A problem in which all questions are of the form: "Is the object a member of the set?" and all answers are either "yes" or "no."
A problem for which the desired answer is a single bit (1 or 0, yes or no). For simplicity, theorists often restrict themselves to talking about decision problems.
(n.) a problem whose solution, if any, is found by satisfying a set of constraints.
In computability theory and computational complexity theory, a decision problem is a question in some formal system with a yes-or-no answer. For example, the problem "given two numbers x and y, does x evenly divide y?" is a decision problem. The answer can be either 'yes' or 'no', and depends upon the values of x and y.
