Automatic generation of programming exercises for learning programming language

Akiyoshi Wakatani, Toshiyuki Maeda · 2015

Not only knowledge such as the grammar but also practical programming experiences are important to the learning of the programming language. In this paper, we classify programming exercises into the following two types: 1) syntax practices for understanding the grammar and 2) semantics practices for understanding the flow of a program, and then we develop a web-base application that automatically generates programming exercises by using templates and PHP language.We also confirm the effectiveness of the system by our preliminary experiments.
