Basic principles of algorithmic problem solving and programming using methods of top-down design, stepwise refinement and procedural abstraction. Basic control structures, data types, and input/output ...

Abstract: Computer program development by stepwise refinement has been advocated by many people. We take another look at stepwise refinement in light of recent developments in programming languages ...

Stepwise refinement is a well-studied technique for developing a program from an abstract description to a concrete implementation. This paper describes a system with automated tool support for ...

In the world of programming, this is called "stepwise refinement." This approach helps to increase ... It's okay if this goal is big. For example, you might have a goal of "learning a new language ...
