imperative design

Hi,


i have to design a program written in an imperative language.
I ve done the anaylysis part in UML, but how do i proceed?

Core of the program is a data structure that looks like this:


----------- --------
| Initiator |--------------------| Target |
----------- | --------
|
|
-----------
| Attribute |
-----------

(attributed association in UML class diagram)

ill implement it with this matrix: (Initiator X Target -> Attribute)

(btw: the language does not provide pointers, so this matrix is the best way to achieve what i want.)

besides the matrix there are several functions that work with it using some arrays.

How do i formally correct design such a program.
How do i model the matrix and the functions and how do i proper connect them?


The only thing i know about imperative desingn are nassi/shneidermann diagrams, but afaik they are no real help for my problem.


any pointers?

thx in advance,

Sebastian
