Rules vs. Structured Programming

• Structured Programming is like C, C++ and Java (pretty much any language you've heard of).
• Structured Programming has loops, and functions.
• Are Rule Based Systems the same as a bunch of if then else statements?
• No, Execution vs. Branching
• It is a line of statements in C
• With a Rule Based System, each rule can apply at each cycle.
• A Rule Based System is essentially a big mutually exclusive if then else statement inside a loop
• How do you decide which one to apply?
