Structured Programming Paradigm
Corrado Böhm, Guiseppe Jacopini, 1966
Proved that
any computer program
, which might be represented as a flow diagram, can be rewritten using only 3 control structures:
sequence
selection
iteration
Essentially, this means that any part of a program can be replaced by a code block that has one input and one output. Hence, there is no need to jump too far across the code losing a context and the main idea
Edsger W. Dijkstra, 1968
Published the famous article:
"
Goto
statement is considered harmful"
Raises a hot topic: using
goto
for branching
leads to more problems than it solves
Niklaus Wirth, 1970
Created
Pascal
language for teaching students Structured Programming
