Abstract :
Experience with the design and implementation of a reusable Pascal code is reported. The project concerns the solution of the LU-factorization problem on large sparse matrices. The code carried out is structured into reusable units. The unit design strategy is based on the abstract data type (ADT) notion. As an example the interface of the FindPivot unit, of the LU factorisation program, is listed
