Although the program design involves several stages, the following are the few important tips to design a good program:
I Tip: Make a program readable. It is a combination of the following:
- Careful choice of data structure or data type.
- Careful choice of variable names.
- Generous use of remarks or comments.
- Program indentation.
- General program design
II Tip: Stepwise refinement of a solution
III Tip: Avoid 'goto' statement to jump around, forward and backward, into and out of loops or blocks of statements. The blocks are also called compound statements.
- Break a problem into a sequence of relatively self-contained or independent sub-problems.
- Follow orderly flow of stepwise refinement.
III Tip: Avoid 'goto' statement to jump around, forward and backward, into and out of loops or blocks of statements. The blocks are also called compound statements.
- The programs using 'goto' are difficult to read and debug.
- The programs using 'goto' are called unstructured programs. Always hate such unstructured programs.
