Abstract

Apparatus generates a sequence of code instructions for execution by a programmable processor to solve a problem. In includes generating a sequence of variable value data corresponding to postulate solutions to such problem; testing the postulate solution data in a relationship to determine whether or not they correspond to the solution to the problem; and, in the event that the test cannot be logically evaluated, storing data defining a decision forming part of the sequence of instruction codes, and generating a plurality of branches of the sequence to be performed depending upon the results of the decision including more than one possible branch from the decision to be taken in the event of the same outcome of the decision, and for selecting one of the branches.
