  • Patent number: 10229096
    Abstract: A device analyzes program code to generate an intermediate version of the program code. When analyzing the program code, the device applies first rules for mapping portions of the program code to different portions of the intermediate version of the program code. The device generates the intermediate version of the program code that the different portions of the intermediate version of the program code mapped from the portions of the program code. The device applies, to the intermediate version of the program code, second rules for determining first portions of the intermediate version of the program code to keep together and second portions of the intermediate version of the program code to keep separate in a presentation to be generated from the program code, and generates the presentation from the program code based on applying the second rules to the intermediate version of the program code.

  • Patent number: 10223076
    Abstract: A method may include displaying an output, e.g., a figure, a data set, a symbolic expression or equation, a model, or any object with a representation that can be manipulated, e.g., a tree, a list, or a control loop, from executing program code. The method may include receiving an indication that the output has been modified through one or more manipulations, and generating code that represents modifications to the output, such that executing the code with the program code generates the output that has been modified.
