What Does Structured Programming Mean?

Structured programming is a logical programming method that is considered a precursor to object-oriented programming (OOP). Structured programming facilitates program understanding and modification and has a top-down design approach, where a system is divided into compositional subsystems.

Techopedia Explains Structured Programming

Structured programming is a procedural programming subset that reduces the need for goto statements. In many ways, OOP is considered a type of structured programming that deploys structured programming techniques. Certain languages – like Pascal, Algorithmic Language (ALGOL) and Ada – are designed to enforce structured programming.
