Abstract
This chapter describes the software “debugging” process at the higher levels of code organization in terms of the topological properties of a program’s Flowchart . However, traditional flowcharts are not the best presentation of logic flow. Other representations allow efficient enumeration of simple logic loops within the flow. And, this enumeration will be shown to be central to code fault detection and correction.
