The Control Structure Diagram (CSD) is an
algorithmic level diagram automatically generated
for Java, C, C, Objective-C, Ada, and VHDL
source code. It is intended to improve the
comprehensibility of source code by clearly
depicting control constructs, control paths, and
the overall structure of each program unit. The
CSD fits into the space that is normally taken by
indentation in source code. It also provides
"handles" for code structures, which enable
meaningful source code folding and other
structure-related editing features.

CSTA

• The Computer Science Teachers Association is a
  national membership organization that advocates
  for K-12 CS education and educators. It is a
  focal point for addressing national curriculum
  standards, certifications, professional
  development and the need for more and better
  resources.
