Logic of Structure

The logic of structure is the very clue to optimizing processes, solving problems systematically, and improving effectiveness.

Problem-solving is about seeing a problem and actually finding a solution to that problem, not just the band-aid approach to fixing the symptom.

The logic of structure in computer programming involves how algorithms are expressed and how information is organized. Algorithms are systematic procedures that solve computational problems and beyond.

Key aspects of the logic of structure include:

-Control Structures: These are fundamental in procedural languages and dictate the flow of execution. The three basic control structures are sequence, conditional, and iterative.

-Data Structures: These organize and store data in a way that algorithms can efficiently access and manipulate. Common data structures include arrays, linked lists, and graphs.

-Subprograms: Also known as procedures or functions, these are self-contained blocks of code that perform a specific task. Subprograms can be called from other parts of the program, promoting modularity and code reuse.

-Recursion: A technique where a subprogram solves a problem by calling itself with a smaller version of the same problem. Recursion can provide simple solutions for problems that can be defined in terms of smaller, self-similar subproblems.

Key aspects of structural problem-solving: Structural problem-solving involves a systematic approach to finding solutions to complex issues. It requires understanding the problem's components and their relationships. 

-Divergent and Convergent Thinking: Divergent thinking generates a variety of possible solutions, while convergent thinking narrows down options to find the best answer.

Well-structured vs. Ill-structured Problems: Well-structured problems have clear solution paths, whereas ill-structured problems lack clear steps toward a solution and often require insight.

-Insight: A sudden understanding of a problem or strategy that aids in finding a solution, often resulting from prior thought and hard work.

-Algorithms and Data Structures: Algorithms are specific procedures for solving computational problems, and data structures organize data to enable efficient algorithm execution.

-Computational Complexity: Measure the computing resources (time and space) an algorithm consumes, helping predict its performance.

 In the emerging digital organizations, the business leverages social/mobile/cloud/analytics technology and tools in enforcing holistic thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and dynamic processes and case management. The logic of structure is the very clue to optimizing processes, solving problems systematically, and improving effectiveness.
