Abstract

The rules and principles of structured programming resemble the rules and principles of good musicianship. Good programmer performance depends on both a competent programmer and the proper logic design methodologies. This paper presents a new diagrammatic methodology for such programming that accurately depicts the restricted control structures and their close correlation with natural thought process. A good programming style and coding indentation are the direct results of the use of structured D-charts.
