Fundamental Patterns for Logic Design

Students new to information technology are often at a loss as to how to transform a problem statement into a program design. A number of different approaches have been proposed to provide students more guidance than is typically found in introductory texts. A new approach is presented that is based on two fundamental patterns in computing—the Input-Process-Output pattern and the Initialization-Loop-Termination pattern. An example application of the approach is presented.
