  • Auto suggestion of coding error correction
    Patent number: 7607066
    Abstract: Suggested corrections for a code error are provided by a compiler or code editor, for example. Thus, there is much less ambiguity about how an error should be corrected. Preferably, a predetermined number of suggested corrections are presented to the user (e.g., up to three suggestions), and the user can choose a desired suggested correction. Corrections for a given error can be made, not only at the location of the error, but throughout the code document, or other files in the user's solution. Furthermore, by undoing one correction and trying another, the user can go through all of the suggested corrections to determine which suggestion would be most preferable.
