Domangue, J. C.; Karbowski, S. A. – 1982
This paper reports the results of two studies of the readability of FORTRAN programs, i.e., the ease with which a programmer can read and analyze programs already written, particularly in the processes of maintenance and debugging. In the first study, low-level characteristics of 202 FORTRAN programs stored on the general-use UNIX systems at Bell…

Carolan, Kevin – 1974
APL (A Programing Language), a computer language used thus far largely for mathematical and scientific applications, can be used to tabulate a survey. Since this computer application can be appreciated by social scientists as well as mathematicians, it serves as an invaluable pedagogical tool for presenting APL to nonscientific users. An…
