Code generation benchmarks such as HumanEval are widely adopted to evaluate LLMs' capabilities. However, after consolidating the latest 24 benchmarks, we noticed three significant imbalances. First, imbalanced programming language. 95.8% of benchmarks ...

In exploratory programming, programmers often face a semantic gap between their high-level understanding and the low-level interfaces available for interacting with objects in a system. That is, technical object structure and behavior need to be ...

Much research has highlighted the impressive capabilities of large language models (LLMs), like GPT and Bard, for solving introductory programming exercises. Recent work has shown that LLMs can effectively solve a range of more complex object-...

JavaScript is originally a prototype-based, object-oriented language, but in 2015, ECMAScript 2015 (ES2015) introduced a syntax sugar that enables the class-based programming style. However, the use of the class syntax is not mandatory, and it is not ...

The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has created multiple challenges for the Computer Science Education Community. This research project aims at integrating LLMs into Object-Oriented Programming courses, by generating and evaluating new teaching ...

Introductory programming courses can be taught in a variety of ways, including live coding, where instructors write code in real-time in front of students, or static code examples, where pre-prepared code is explained to students. While previous studies ...

Engineering user interfaces involves the use of multiple user interactions. Developers may struggle with programming and using those user interactions because of a lack of flexibility that affects the current user interface programming approaches. First, ...

This nifty assignment requires students to construct a Recycling Items Sorting System using Java, focusing on object-oriented design, abstract data types (ADTs), and sorting algorithms to classify recyclables by type and properties. Targeted at ...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as promising tools to assist students while solving programming assignments. However, object-oriented programming (OOP), with its inherent complexity involving the identification of entities, relationships, and ...

Dynamic, object-oriented programming languages are widely regarded as enjoyable and easy to use. These languages lend themselves well to exploration and very short iteration cycles and feedback loops. However, many of them have no or limited support for ...

Serveless computing and the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) model promise rapid development of cloud-based applications by abstracting away deployment and resource allocation. As the stateless nature of functions undermines the generality of the model, they ...

The paper analyzes the possibilities of transforming C programming language constructs into objects of EO programming language. The key challenge of the method is the transpilation from a system programming language into a language of a higher ...

Context. Features and styles inspired by functional programming have grown in popularity in the world of object-oriented programming. Immutability is a core concept of functional programming, which brings advantages to software development. However, ...

In this poster, we report our on-going project that aims to design a good set of course materials for introduction to programming using a functional programming language, Clean[2]. While procedural languages such as C, Python, etc are used in most ...

Software faults are costly to find and remove from programs. It is better to avoid inserting the faults in the first place. The authors identify requirements‐related faults that can arise during the transformation of formal specifications into ...

In this paper, we identify requirements‐related faults that can arise during the transformation of formal specifications into programs, analyse each to discover its causes, and propose corresponding fault prevention methods. The approach works by ...

Java had a long period of little change in its features: between Java 5 in 2004 and Java 9 in 2017, lambda functions were the only major addition to the language. However, Java's development pace has suddenly quickened, and not just in version numbers: ...

This paper explores how an Android application consumes memory when it is developed by two approaches: basic object-oriented programming versus decorator design pattern. Somehow programmers develop applications based on their coding experience without ...

Many calculi exist for modeling various features of object-oriented languages. Many of them are based on λ -calculus and focus either on statically typed class-based languages or dynamic prototype-based languages. We formalize the untyped calculus of ...

In teaching university entry-level calculus, it proved useful to distinguish early from late transcendentals depending on the time at which transcendentals such as the exponential and logarithmic functions are introduced. I suggest we pose analogous "...

Students constantly have to learn and relate new concepts. However, those multiple relations are easily not given enough attention as their practical application is often given priority. Hence students are left with incomplete reflection on the subject ...
