Lec 3 Basic of Structured Programming

Structured programming is a methodology that promotes writing well-structured programs through top-down design and step-wise refinement. It utilizes three basic structures: sequence, decision, and repetition. Programs written with structured programming are easier to write, debug, understand and change due to their modular and hierarchical design.

 Structured programming is the set of design and


implementation processes that yield well-structured
programs.
 Structured programming is a problem solving strategy
and a programming methodology that includes the
following guidelines
 The flow of control in the program should be as simple
as possible
 The construction of a program should embody top-
down design
Features

 Easy to write:
 Modular design increases the programmer's
productivity by allowing them to look at the big picture
first and focus on details later.
 Easy to debug
 Since each procedure is specialized to perform just one
task, a procedure can be checked individually.
 Easy to Understand
 The relationship between the procedures shows the
modular design of the program.
Features
4

 Easy to Change
 Since a correctly written structured program is self-
documenting, it can be easily understood by another
programmer

 Advantages of structured programming


 Standard method for solving a problem
 Easier to test and debug than straight-line or modular
programs
 Structured walkthroughs
 A single program can be written by more than one
programmer
 Programs can share routines
 Help minimize thrashing

 A disciplined approach to programming


 Top-down design
 Step-wise refinement using a restricted set* of
program structures

* The set of program structures used in structured


programming is:
 Sequence
 Choice
 Loop
Top-Down Design
7

 A program is divided into a main module and its


related modules. Each module is in turn divided
into submodules until the resulting modules are
understood without further division.
