Control table

A control table is a table data structure (i.e. array of records) used to direct the control flow of a computer program. Software that uses a control table is said to be table-driven. A control table encodes both the parameters to a conditional expression and a function reference. An interpreter processes a table by evaluating the conditional expression…
