Design and implementation of a pseudo language processor

The two objectives in software development are:-cost reduction, and -the production of reliable software. Structured, top-down design is the major technique currently- used to achieve these objectives. Pseudo Language (PL) is presented in this thesis as a means for encouraging good design practices and functional programming. A Pseudo Language Processor (PLP) which analyses the PL program structurally is also described in this thesis. PLP is a software tool which enforces good design practices and prints out useful messages for validating programs written in Pseudo Language.
