Algorithms and program modules for processing interrelated information cells

Abstract

The present research work has undertaken the task of developing algorithms and software programs for processing a large number of information cells containing high level program statements including assignments, arithmetic and boolean expressions, commands etc. Algorithms for the manipulation of informations on a large cell system by using simple but powerful commands have been developed by considering the structuring facilities. In the present work "top-down" approach of structuring has been used for the algorithmic modules have been designed. of algorithms and program modules. all the external specifications, development cosidering expression interpreter and the screen After two main They are the manipulator.- E,xpression interpreter defines algorithms for the evaluation / of arithmetic, logical,conditional expressions with built-in functions. Screen mani~ulator defines algorithm for interaction intelligently with the user through the display screen. Main module defines algorithms for the production of the proposed cell system and for the interaction between the user and the system. The specification for the interaction between the main module with the data structure of the cell system and these two modules has been defined first , then the detailed design has been carried out more or less independently. Finally the algorithms have been implemented in the form of a program module by considering some coding tricks and local optimization. The coding language used here is the CBASIC compiler, a popular high level language.
