| Research Abstract |
In an university setting, programming education tends to focus on correct program execution, neglecting program readability. This in turn can inhibit program understanding. We therefore proposed, designed, and implemented a system that encourages studentsto write readable programs by indicating difficult-to-read locations. We also verified the correct functioning of the system. In addition, to evaluate the effectiveness of this system, we experimentally analyzed the relationship between program readability and program understanding.
