  • Programmable device providing visual feedback of balancing of opening and closing statements of programming structures and nesting level
    Patent number: 10691422
    Abstract: Providing visual feedback of balancing of programming structure hierarchy in a program entered on a programmable device having a processor, an instruction memory, an input device, and a display screen having a left edge. In an arrangement, at least two control structure opening statements are received, each having an associated control structure. A unique representation is assigned to each of the at least two control structures. The control structure opening statements are displayed in the unique representation assigned to the corresponding control structure beginning at a same location with respect to the left edge of the display. At least two control structure closing sequences are received, and each control structure closing sequence is associated with one of the control structures, respectively.
