Python-tutor on program comprehension
| Resumo: | The time spent analysing a software with the goal of comprehending it is huge and expensive. Reduce the time necessary to a professional understand a program is essential for the advance of technology. Therefore, the program comprehension has always been an area of interest as realizing how a programmer thinks can help facilitate many of their daily activities, making the developer a more productive worker. As the world begins to reshape itself thanks to the advances of technology, this area of research gains more and more relevance. This project aim to study the tools developed within the comprehension of programs that usually are associated to software maintenance and analysing the animation web tool Python-Tutor. After this study, it’s required to explore Python-Tutor to understand how it can be improved with the addition of important features to program comprehension as Control Flow Graph (CFG), Data Flow Graph (DFG), Function Call Graph (FCG) and System Control Graph (SCG). The idea behind this is to allow new programmers to view their programs and create a visual image of them in order to understand them and improving their skills to understand someone else’s programs. |
