INTRODUCTION Structured programming is one of the several different ways in which a programming language can be constructed. "It was originally introduced as a means of getting away from the 'spaghetti' code that was used in the early days and to provide some means by which programmers could more easily follow code written by other programmers." (Hendren, 1998) Structured programming is a procedure-oriented method of designing and coding a program. At a low level, structured programs are composed
would meet the client’s individual needs and expectations while using a structured approach to counselling? The structured approach to counselling will depend on the type of counselling method each counsellor uses. The use of structure provides the client with a framework which will be used in the counselling process, which in turn supports the client through the stages of resolving their problems or concerns. Using a structured approach to counselling while meeting a client’s individual needs requires
The COBOL programming language is typically used in large scale databases in banks and insurance companies. Today, COBOL is rarely used to write new software applications. It has been replaced by the C/C++ programming language, but up until the 80’s all business software was written using COBOL. This includes but not exclusively accounting, payroll, and large bank applications. COBOL is still used today due to the high cost in upgrading software, and recent studies show that as many as twelve
foundation in Mathematics and Computer Programming. During the course of my Engineering education I took up a project with Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), India’s premier centre for atomic research. This project of developing the software for processing reactor data, requiring extensive use of C programming language and Unix, for the first time gave me a real world experience of programming. This association helped a lot in consolidating my programming skills, especially in C language
Computer programming is the process of creating a set of instructions for the computer to follow in order to output the desired results (“What is programming”, n.d.). It is typically used to solve a problem of some type, such as how to allow customers to make purchases online. Two different methods of programming are structured and object-oriented programming. Each method has unique characteristics that make them more useful in solving certain types of problems. Structured programming, for instance

Many people believed that television would never surpass radio as the chief means of mass communication; they could not have been more incorrect. Presently 98% of the households in the United States have one or more televisions in them. What once was regarded as a luxury item has become a staple appliance of the American household. Gone are the days of the three channel black and white programming of the early years; that
PROGRAMACION LINEAL. ---El término "programación" tiene un significado distinto cuando se refiere a Programación Lineal que cuando hablamos de Programación Informática. En el primer caso, significa planificar y organizar mientras que en el segundo caso, significa escribir las instrucciones para realizar cálculos. Un modelo matemático es una ecuación, desigualdad o sistema de ecuaciones o desigualdades, que representa determinados aspectos del sistema físico representado en el modelo. Los modelos

The Future of Computer Programming Computers are probably the most important invention of this century if not of all time. Right now people use computers for just about everything in the world and they are becoming a necessity in peoples’ lives just as many other new technologies. To say you cannot use a computer this day and age is almost like saying you are illiterate. In order for computers to function and be accessible to people there must be applications or instructions for the computer.
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) was concerned in the 1970¡¦s by the number of different programming languages being used for its projects, some of which were proprietary and/or obsolete. Up until 1974, half of the applications at the DoD were embedded systems. An embedded system is one where the computer hardware is embedded in the device it controls. More than 450 programming languages were used to implement different DoD projects, and none of them were standardized. As a result
Programming Languages A programming language is a set of English-like instructions that includes a set of rules for putting the instructions together to create commands. A translator changes the English-like commands into numeric code that the computer can understand. The most common type of translator is a compiler. The compiler is program that reads English-like commands in a file and than creates another file containing computer readable numeric code or commands. I will be talking about some
Computer programming and engineering problem solving have much in common. Both use a structured approach to ensure the right steps in the right order with correct information. Therefore, programming a computer to solve chemical engineering problems can help a student begin to develop the skills to set-up and efficiently solve problems. Essentially, in programming you are ‘teaching’ the computer to solve the problem. Therefore, you have to understand the problem to translate it successfully into
Pascal programming language was designed in 1968, and published in 1970. It is a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. Pascal was developed by Niklaus Wirth. The language was named in honor of the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. In 1641, Pascal created the first arithmetical machine. Some say it was the first computer. Wirth improved the instrument eight years later. In 1650, Pascal left
FORTRAN and Pascal Programming Concepts Abstract The following is a research paper regarding two programming languages called FORTRAN and Pascal. Pascal [mathematician/philosopher Blaise Pascal] was designed primarily as a tool for teaching good programming skills, but - thanks largely to the availability of Borland's inexpensive Pascal compiler for the early IBM PC - it has become popular outside of the classroom. Unlike many languages, Pascal requires a fairly structured approach, which prevents
Software engineering was suggested at a NATO conference in 1968 to talk about the software crisis. “Software crisis” was the name give to problems encountered in the development of large and complex systems . In the early 1970s, notions of structured programming started coming up. In the late 1970s, early
Crisis The software crisis is termed after the effects and the crisis that occurred as a result of the difficulties the production of software, (to match hardware), was creating. Inexperienced programmers, inefficient software, high demand and bad programming practices may also be attributed to the term “Software Crisis”. Why did the Software Crisis happen The software crisis originated due to the fact that hardware was placed at the center of development and all research and innovation was thus dedicated
Extreme Programming (XP) has spent the past decades under perpetual scrutiny by software developers fixated on up front design methodologies. The idea behind this is simple: if you want to make sure something is well built, you must design it well first, then put it together using reliable tools. For objects such as houses, cars, or tables, of which the design evolves gradually throughout decades, the methods of up front design suffice. Computer programs, on the other hand, are products often made
- Design This stage produces the logical and physical design specifications for the solution. Design and documentation tools (flow diagrams, structure charts, system flowcharts, etc.) are used to develop formal specifications. Stage 4 - Programming

Graduate study helps me in sharpening my skills and quest professional exposure. Undergraduate program is a broad based structured course with strong fundamentals but offers limited scope of specialization. Thus, I feel that the graduate course would pave way to acquire specialization in my field of interest. In the following paragraphs I shall explain my interest in pursuing
