Skeleton programming facilitates a [[top-down]] design approach, where a partially-functional system with complete high-level structures is designed and coded, and this system is then expanded to fulfill the requirements for the project to a successively higher level of detail.

Program skeletons resemble to [[pseudo code]], but allows [[parsing]], [[compiler|compilation]] and testing of the code. Program skeletons are sometimes used for high-level descriptions of [[algorithm]]s.

Program skeletons resemble to [[pseudo code]], but allows [[parsing]], [[compiler|compilation]] and testing of the code. Program skeletons are sometimes used for high-level descriptions of [[algorithm]]s.

A program skeleton may also be utilized as a template that reflects syntax and structures commonly used in a wide class of problems.

Skeleton programs are utilized in the [[template method design pattern]] used in [[object-oriented programming]]. See that article for examples of skeleton programs.
