METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCING COMPREHENSION OF CODE TIME COMPLEXITY AND FLOW

摘要

A method and apparatus that utilizes techniques for formatting assembly and/or machine code, including using arrows, indentations and textual symbols, so that a programmer who reads the code has an enhanced understanding of the program flow. Different methods of assessing computing time complexity (e.g., the up branch method and the strongly connected subgraph method) have strengths and weaknesses but benefit from being used together.
