Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we're tackling the word "requirements," and it’s a really important one. The dictionary gives us a good start – it says “a necessity or prerequisite,” meaning something you
need
to do or have in order to move forward. Think of it like needing ingredients before you bake a cake!
Let’s break that down a little bit, and I'll use a rhyme to help it stick:
“Requirements are rules, you see,
A need for things, for you and me!
They tell us what
must
be done,
Before the project can run!”
Now, the dictionary also throws in some fancy words about "adpositions," which basically means
where
or
how
something is related. It’s saying that requirements are linked to:
Who gave it:
“The teacher
requires
you to read.” (Related to the teacher)
What it's given to:
“The computer
requires
an operating system." (Related to the computer)
What’s required:
"The recipe
requires
flour and eggs!" (Related to what needs to be there).
Essentially, requirements tell us
what’s needed
from a specific person or thing.
Think of it like building with LEGOs - you need certain bricks (requirements) to build the castle!
