The term structured programming (hereafter abbreviated sp ) has been used with many different meanings since Edsger W. Dijkstra first coined the term. Actually, the term appeared in the title of his monograph Notes on structured programming [Dijkstra 72d*], but as far as I can determine not in the monograph itself! The lack of a precise definition has allowed, even encouraged, people to use it as they wished, to attribute to sp what they themselves learned from reading Notes on structured programming, however different this might have been from Dijkstra’s intent. Taken out of context or viewed in the wrong light, some of the resulting definitions of sp that have appeared in the literature seem stupid (e.g., sp is programming without gotos), and it is quite understandable that programmers have looked askance when asked to learn and practice it. The matter has gotten so out of hand that some programmers and managers feel that sp is an attempt to “deskill” the profession—to put so many restrictions on the programmer that his task becomes trivial and can be performed by almost any person.

The Basics of Structured Problem-Solving Methodologies: DMAIC & 8D
Topics: Minitab Engage
When it comes to solving a problem, organizations want to get to the root cause of the problem, as quickly as possible. They also want to ensure that they find the most effective solution to that problem, make sure the solution is implemented fully, and is sustained into the future so that the problem no longer occurs. The best way to do this is by implementing structured problem-solving. In this blog post, we’ll briefly cover structured problem-solving and the best improvement methodologies to achieve operational excellence. Before we dive into ways Minitab can help, let’s first cover the basics of problem-solving.
WHAT IS STRUCTURED PROBLEM-SOLVING?
Structured problem-solving is a disciplined approach that breaks down the problem-solving process into discrete steps with clear objectives. This method enables you to tackle complex problems, while ensuring you’re resolving the right ones. It also ensures that you fully understand those problems, you've considered the reasonable solutions, and are effectively implementing and sustaining them.
WHAT IS A STRUCTURED PROBLEM-SOLVING METHODOLOGY?
A structured problem-solving methodology is a technique that consists of a series of phases that a project must pass through before it gets completed. The goal of a methodology is to highlight the intention behind solving a particular problem and offers a strategic way to resolve it. WHAT ARE THE BEST PROBLEM-SOLVING METHODOLOGIES?
That depends on the problem you’re trying to solve for your improvement initiative. The structure and discipline of completing all the steps in each methodology is more important than the specific methodology chosen. To help you easily visualize these methodologies, we’ve created the Periodic Table of Problem-Solving Methodologies. Now let’s cover two important methodologies for successful process improvement and problem prevention: DMAIC and 8D .
8D is known as the Eight Disciplines of problem-solving. It consists of eight steps to solve difficult, recurring, or critical problems. The methodology consists of problem-solving tools to help you identify, correct, and eliminate the source of problems within your organization. If the problem you’re trying to solve is complex and needs to be resolved quickly, 8D might be the right methodology to implement for your organization. Each methodology could be supported with a project template, where its roadmap corresponds to the set of phases in that methodology. It is a best practice to complete each step of a given methodology, before moving on to the next one.

Solving Problems with Solutions Requiring Sequential Processing Overview Computer programming is not just programming language syntax and using a development environment. At its core, computer programming is solving problems. We will now turn our attention to a structured methodology you can use to construct solutions for a given problem.

problem. Precise step-by-step instructions should be given by us to solve the problem. Thus, the success of a computer in solving a problem depends on how correctly and precisely we define the problem, design a solution (algorithm) and implement the solution (program) using a programming language.

Let A and B be integers with A > B ≥ 0. If B = 0, then the gcd is A and the algorithm ends. Otherwise, find q and r such that. = qB + r where 0 ≤ r < B Note that we have 0 ≤ r < B < A and gcd(A,B) = gcd(B,r). Replace A by B, and B by r. Go to step 2. Walk through this algorithm with some sets of values.

The goals are to devise orderly, efficient methods for developing readable correct programs, to identify and explain tools and techniques for solving programming problems (or any problems for that matter), and to find out how to think clearly when programming.
OO, or Object Oriented, programming refers to a set of activities that lead to a computer program, written in an object-oriented language, that when executed on a computer will solve a problem. Java is an OO language used in CS 180. Other OO languages include C++, C#, Delphi, Modula, Oberon, Objective C, Simula, Smalltalk, and many more!
