Decision Table
Decision tables are a precise yet compact way to model complicated logic.
Decision tables, like flowcharts and if-then-else and switch-case statements, associate conditions with actions to perform, but in many cases do so in a more elegant way.
In the 1960s and 1970s a range of "decision table based" languages such as Filetab were popular for business programming.
