Abstract :
We developed a learning system that supports in obtaining the capability of tracing source programs for novice programmers. The system has the following functions and characteristics: (1) It can display the source program and the flow chart of the program in parallel. (2) It can set similar problems based on basic program patterns semi-automatically. (3) It has a function to display the present and past contents of the variables. (4) We construct the system as a Web-based server-client application
