Abstract:
This paper describes The SFC Editor, a graphical algorithm development tool
for both beginning and advanced programmers. Flowcharts have long been
used by programmers as a format for designing and visualizing the logic of an
algorithm. Since drawing flowcharts by hand can be very tedious, most
programmers use software for creating their flowcharts; usually the technique
employed by the software package involves selecting the graphical
components of a flowchart and manually creating the lines of flow among
them. The SFC (Structured Flow Chart) Editor differs from other flowchart
creation software because its focus is on the design of flowcharts for structured
programs; using a building block approach, the graphical components of a
flowchart are automatically connected and structured pseudo-code is
simultaneously generated for each flowchart. While SFC was originally
designed as a tool for beginning to intermediate programmers, it has been used
by students in upper level classes and by professional system designers. This
paper presents anecdotal evidence of the effectiveness of the SFC Editor in a
computer science overview course and a summary of future directions for the
project.
