Abstract

This paper describes a flowchart technique, which supports the method of program development by stepwise refinement.Flowcharts made by this technique have a tree structure, which simplifies program test and coding the chart into a programming language. For design of the overall control structure the basic forms concatenation, selection, repetition and restricted GOTO statements are available.
