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.
