Abstract
Many systems allow individual users to interact with the computer directly. This involves the use of a dialogue between a terminal user and the computer. The most common basic types of interactive dialogue are:
-
(a)
menu selection
-
(b)
form filling
-
(c)
question and answer
-
(d)
interrogate or command.
In this chapter we develop program structures with allocated operations and conditions for each of the above. Each example is considered to be part of a larger problem — in practice it could be a self-contained procedure — and therefore we include only the structure, operations and conditions relevant to the dialogue.
