SOLUTION TREES IN THE PROGRAM DESIGN PROCES S William J . Collin s Computer Science Departmen t Salisbury State Colleg e Salisbury, M A Introductio n Designing a program i s Programming is the design and coding of computer programs . program it is also more difficult t o not only more difficult to accomplish than coding a When program design is taught, stepwise refinement often serves as a guidin g teach . The value of stepwise refinement is that we start with a simple statement o f principle . what is to be done and Rradually develop a sequence of statements that specify how to d o Flowcharting is not a helpful design tool since flowcharts and code are at the sam e it . The hierarchy of stepwise refinement is best captured with some sort of tre e level . structure, such as the one we now describe . Solution Tree s Th e A solution tree depicts the development of an algorithm by stepwise refinement . This root is then refine d root consists of a simple statement of what is to be done . Each of these nodes is further refined and ne w
