Edsger Dijkstra introduced this sequence to computer science in his book A Discipline of Programming, and it has been a staple of beginning programming courses ever since. Today, I presented a position paper entitled “Programming Can Deepen Understanding Across Disciplines”. Dijkstra wrote a program based on three axioms:. Having the basis for ingenuity is a great thing for kids, and I can't really ever see that going away, but I really think that programming as a discipline is becoming more a means to an end rather than an end in and of itself. Programming languages are intolerant of error in grammar or syntax. 'The Pragmatic Programmer' isn't about a particular language or development environment, but it teach programmers how to think about programming as a discipline. Electrical perhaps, but what should happen is that the field should strive for a higher bar for engineering discipline using the other long standing engineering fields perhaps as a template. Dijkstra * Publisher: Prentice Hall, Inc. Dijkstra talks about this problem in detail in one of my favorite books, "A discipline of programming." Also, here's an article with a surprisingly simple recursive solution: https://nicolas-lara.blogspot.com/2009/01/permutations. A Discipline of Programming (Prentice-Hall Series in Automatic Computation) By E. What I write about computer programming applies to other fields of problem solving, such as engineering and mathematics. It's important to remember that all programming languages require a discipline that most of us don't have. Dijkstra made a similar argument on page 56 of his book "A Discipline of Programming", together with another argument in support of the != form.
