Abstract
In this paper, an improved graphic representation for Structured Program Design—N-S-Z (Nassi-Shneiderman-Zhou Diagram) is proposed. It not only preserves the advantages of the conventional graphic and non—graphic representations, but also adds some new features which will enhance the representative power of the original diagram.
