Structure diagrams

A structure diagram shows how a larger problem is broken down into smaller subproblems or modules. It represents the hierarchy and flow of control in a program.
Structure diagrams have a top-down design with each module performing a single, defined task.
These diagrams are useful for debugging, reusing code, and understanding complex systems.
For example, the structure diagram on the right shows a workflow for processing student data including inputs, processes, and outputs.
