  2. Structured programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_programming

    Structured programming theorists gained a major ally in the 1970s after IBM researcher Harlan Mills applied his interpretation of structured programming theory to the development of an indexing system for The New York Times research file. The project was a great engineering success, and managers at other companies cited it in support of ...

  3. It teaches fundamental principles of computer programming, including recursion, abstraction, modularity, and programming language design and implementation. MIT Press published the first edition in 1984, and the second edition in 1996. It was formerly used as the textbook for MIT's introductory course in computer science.

  4. Programming paradigm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm

    Literate programming, as a form of imperative programming, structures programs as a human-centered web, as in a hypertext essay: documentation is integral to the program, and the program is structured following the logic of prose exposition, rather than compiler convenience.

  5. PL/C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PL/C

    The textbook An Introduction to Programming: A Structured Approach Using PL/I and PL/C was written by Conway and Gries using PL/C as the programming language and was published in 1973. [14] It presented top-down design, [23] and stressed the discipline of structured programming throughout, becoming one of the most prominent textbooks to do so. [41]

  6. Structure chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_Chart

    Example of a Structured Chart. [1] A structure chart (SC) in software engineering and organizational theory is a chart which shows the smallest of a system to its lowest manageable levels. [2] They are used in structured programming to arrange program modules into a tree. Each module is represented by a box, which contains the module's name.

  7. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Function_(computer_programming)

    Decomposing a complex programming task into simpler steps: this is one of the two main tools of structured programming, along with data structures; Reducing duplicate code within a program; Enabling reuse of code across multiple programs; Dividing a large programming task among various programmers or various stages of a project

  8. Software development process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development_process

    Structured systems analysis and design method - a specific version of waterfall; Slow programming, as part of the larger Slow Movement, emphasizes careful and gradual work without (or minimal) time pressures. Slow programming aims to avoid bugs and overly quick release schedules. V-Model (software development) - an extension of the waterfall model

  9. Cyclomatic complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity

    In contrast, if the program is not structured, the iterative process will identify the irreducible part. The essential complexity measure defined by McCabe is simply the cyclomatic complexity of this irreducible graph, so it will be precisely 1 for all structured programs, but greater than one for non-structured programs.
