Stepwise Refinement
Introduction
- Stepwise Refinement is the process of breaking down a programming problem into a series of steps. You start with a general set of steps to solve the problem, defining each in turn.
- Once you have defined each of the steps you then break the problem down into a series of smaller sub-steps.
- You keep on going until you have described the problem in such a level of detail that you can code a solution to the problem.
