If $G$ is a group with normal subgroup $N$ and quotient $Q\cong G/N$, then $G$ is a extension of $Q$ by $N$, denoted $N.Q$.
If $G$ has a subgroup $\tilde Q\leq G$ such that $\tilde Q\cap N=\langle e\rangle$, and $\tilde QN=G$, then $\tilde Q\cong Q$ and $G$ is a semidirect product of $N$ and $\tilde Q$.
If no such subgroup $\tilde Q$ exists, then $G$ is a non-split extension of $Q$ by $N$.
