Abstract

Some new ideas regarding control structures, program charts, and the relationship between the two are presented. It is claimed that the 'pancode' primitives do, if, repeat, else, also, {, and } suffice to build control structures which are more powerful and more readable than those currently used. It is also demonstrated that an equivalent graphical representation of program structure can be obtained by means of 'boxcharts'.
