Frames and folders: a teachable memory model for Java
Paul Gries, David Gries · 2002
We present a memory model for use in teaching Java. It includes a notion of class and a way of drawing objects to which students can relate. It includes the frames on the call stack and the steps in executing method calls, including recursive calls. The model starts out simple and is extended as new concepts are introduced, ending up with nested and inner classes. 1.
