  2. Decomposition (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition_(computer...

    A decomposition paradigm in computer programming is a strategy for organizing a program as a number of parts, and usually implies a specific way to organize a program text. Typically the aim of using a decomposition paradigm is to optimize some metric related to program complexity, for example a program's modularity or its maintainability.

  3. Jackson structured programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Structured_Programming

    JSP is geared towards programming at the level of control structures, so the implemented designs use just primitive operations, sequences, iterations and selections. JSP is not used to structure programs at the level of classes and objects, although it can helpfully structure control flow within a class's methods.

  4. Bottom-up and top-down design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom-up_and_top-down_design

    Top-down methods were favored in software engineering until the late 1980s, [2] [failed verification] and object-oriented programming assisted in demonstrating the idea that both aspects of top-down and bottom-up programming could be used. Modern software design approaches usually combine top-down and bottom-up approaches. Although an ...

  5. Structured programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_programming

    Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed at improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making specific disciplined use of the structured control flow constructs of selection (if/then/else) and repetition (while and for), block structures, and subroutines.

  6. Decomposition method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition_method

    Decomposition method is a generic term for solutions of various problems and design of algorithms in which the basic idea is to decompose the problem into subproblems. The term may specifically refer to: Decomposition method (constraint satisfaction) in constraint satisfaction

  7. Modular programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_programming

    While the historical usage of these terms has been inconsistent, "modular programming" now refers to the high-level decomposition of the code of an entire program into pieces: structured programming to the low-level code use of structured control flow, and object-oriented programming to the data use of objects, a kind of data structure.

  8. Structured analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_analysis

    Structured analysis is part of a series of structured methods that represent a collection of analysis, design, and programming techniques that were developed in response to the problems facing the software world from the 1960s to the 1980s. In this timeframe most commercial programming was done in Cobol and Fortran, then C and BASIC. There was ...

  9. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    This strategy avoids the overhead of recursive calls that do little or no work and may also allow the use of specialized non-recursive algorithms that, for those base cases, are more efficient than explicit recursion. A general procedure for a simple hybrid recursive algorithm is short-circuiting the base case, also known as arm's-length ...
