Abstract

Subprogram implementation is one of the harder topics for students in the Comparative Programming Languages course. In order to help students learn the implementation of non-local referencing in subprograms, we developed a problem-solving tutor. The tutor covers static chaining and display method for static scope and deep and shallow access for dynamic scope, in the context of a language that allows nested subprograms. In this paper, we will describe the design of the tutor, and present the results of evaluating it in our Programming Languages course.
