Abstract: 

Subqueries are embedded queries within a main SQL statement, used for tasks like filtering, calculations, or comparisons. They offer a modular approach to problem-solving, breaking down complex queries into more manageable components. CTEs provide a structured way to define temporary result sets in SQL using the WITH clause. They enhance code readability and maintainability by allowing the creation of named, reusable result sets, particularly beneficial for recursive queries and modularizing complex SQL statements.
