Decision Table

Decision Table

Decision tables are a precise yet compact way to model complicated logic.

Decision tables, like flowcharts and if-then-else and switch-case statements, associate conditions with actions to perform, but in many cases do so in a more elegant way.

In the 1960s and 1970s a range of "decision table based" languages such as Filetab were popular for business programming.

Famous quotes containing the words decision and/or table:

    A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    the moderate Aristotelian city
    Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
    And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
    And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
