Programming methods
Planning becomes more important as the size of the program increases,
which is why concentration on short programs, though effective for teaching
coding methods, is not useful for teaching planning. A program of a hundred
lines requires some planning; a program often lines may not. Going up the
scale of complexity, a program of 1000 lines needs much more than ten times
as much planning as one of 100 lines. Most applications programming deals
with very complex programming, certainly more than one programmer is
likely to be able to cope with single-handed, and the amount of detailed
planning that is required demands considerabl ...
