A program structure tree (PST) is a hierarchical diagram that displays the nesting relationship of single-entry single-exit (SESE) regions, showing the organization of a computer program. Nodes in this tree represent SESE regions of the program, while edges represent nesting regions. The PST is defined for all control flow graphs.
