A comparison of the effects of structured vs. non-structured and modularized vs. non-modularized programs on run time (abstract only)
Domenick J. Pinto, Sandra K. Honda · 1987
This paper presents the basis for analytical research, examining the various effects of modifying or amending a particular program in both its basic structure and its degree of modularity on its ultimate run time. We begin with a program which produces as output a series of tables of high card and distribution counts of 1000 bridge hands. The deal of each bridge hand is accomplished by a random number generator function and the program employs a test module to ascertain valid results.
