Abstract

This paper presents a discipline and a set of control-logic statements to extend structured programming to arbitrary existing languages. These statements preempt and replace all control statements in a language, so that all programs written in Control-Restrictive Instructions for Structural Programming (CRISP) are automatically structured. Structures are provided for real-time, as well as nonreal-time programming. The principles set forth do not attempt to specify a standard programming language, but instead, a programming language standard—that is, a way of programming that contributes to stability, maintainability, readability (self-documentation), and understandability of the final product.
