What was Niklaus Wirth's central idea about programming?
My central idea was that good programming is a systematic process, not an art. I believed that the quality of a program is directly related to the clarity of its design and the elegance of its structure. This is encapsulated in the equation 'Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs.' Understanding and defining these components rigorously is key to creating efficient and maintainable software.
