Report of session on structured programming
Barbara H. Liskov, R. A. Freiburghouse · ACM SIGPLAN Notices · 1973
The session on structured programming was both interesting and lively, and many aspects of structured programming were discussed. Conspicuous by its absence was a debate on the use of goto 's; chairman Bob Freiburghouse requested that this topic be avoided, since it has been thoroughly discussed elsewhere. To provide a common frame of reference for the discussion, Barbara Liskov opened the session with a presentation providing a definition of structured programming. The text of the presentation is given in the next section. The remaining sections contain summaries of the most interesting discussions, organized by topics.
