Part of the way Fprth handles the complexity is that during design you are able to identify the components you need to resolve a particular solution. You can design what looks like something more complex but it remains an entity simple enough to describe, consider and test. For example, take the humble carburettor. It has a body, some small shafts, a needle, a butterfly valve, some nuts springs and screws. Each of the individual items are part of the make up, some components even consist of other components fixed together. Yet, you can refer to the whole as a carburettor and, because people know what that is, you can speak of it in its part in the workings of an engine. This is taking the Component Oriented view of a system. The nice thing about components is that they are self-complete, fully describable items with definite interfaces and a thoroughly testable as an entity. Forth is a very nice Componented Oriented Development Environment (see my EuroForth 2014 paper on the topic for more material). -- ******************************************************************** Paul E.
