Abstract
By the term “Graphical Computer Aided Programming Systems” we mean those systems in which the computer plays a fundamental role in the preparation of a program as well as being the executor of the end product. Interactive, line at a time, compiler systems fall into this category. The graphical systems that we are going to discuss use some form of flowcharts as a part of a program or its documentation. Flowcharts may be associated with the four phases of program preparation:
-
Planning
-
Coding
-
Debugging
-
and Documentation.
