Answer / guest
Answer: B
A characteristic of structured programming is smaller,
workable units. Structured programming has evolved because
smaller, workable units are easier to maintain. Structured
programming is a style of programming which restricts the
kinds of control structures. This limitation is not
crippling any program can be written with allowed control
structures. Structured programming is sometimes referred to
as go-to-less programming, since a go-to statement is not
allowed. This is perhaps the most well known restriction of
the style, since go-to statements were common at the time
structured programming was becoming more popular. Statement
labels also become unnecessary, except in languages where
subroutines are identified by labels.
