"Automatic Interfacing in Computer Programming."

The application of Automatic Interfacing in a computer program is described giving examples. When computer programs are structured to make choices possible then they may learn from these answers so that tasks may be automatically performed when desired. Structured programming accounts for the defaults to these answers and also allows the operator to implement changes via switches or change commands. The examples given explain the features added by the logic which remembers previous answers. In my definition, the Automatic Interfacing Program must contain four sections. 1. The first section, called "Learning", is the input section which should do more than just accept information. It should check to see if the information is valid within numerical limits, or valid within syntactic limits. If not, at this point, the program should correct for any mistakes on input. 2. The second section of a controlled program, I have called the "Decision Section". It is at this point that choices art to be made and truth tables eatablished for the rules which are governing the decisions. This may require exacting calculations in order to provide the basis for decision. In all cases, the decision should be registered in an accessible database form for easy observation. It is at this point that a branch should also be made to a "Forgiveness" section, where changes can be made if the logic does not give satisfactory resu1ts. 3. The third section of the computer program is commonly called the "Action" section, or the "Output".
