Patent number: 9665471Abstract: A device may receive an indication to evaluate a first portion of program code and a second portion of program code provided in a first section of a user interface. The device may evaluate the first portion of program code and the second portion of program code. The device may generate a first result corresponding to the first portion of program code and may generate a second result corresponding to the second portion of program code based on evaluating the first portion of program code and the second portion of program code. The device may provide the first result and the second result in a second section of the user interface. The second section may be separate from the first section. The device may provide a correspondence indicator that indicates a correspondence between the first result and the first portion of program code.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R.

Patent number: 9645915Abstract: A device receives a program code being created or edited, executes a first portion of the program code to generate a first result, and executes a second portion of the program code to generate a second result. The device stores the first result and the second result, and compares the first result and the second result to determine a difference between the first result and the second result. The device utilizes the difference to identify an error in the program code, and provides information, associated with the difference and the error, for display.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: The Mathworks, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R.

Using program code to generate help information, and using help information to generate program code
Patent number: 9645798Abstract: A device may determine to provide help information associated with a portion of program code included in a program and provided via a user interface of a programming environment. The device may obtain generic help information, associated with the portion of program code, based on determining to provide the help information. The device may determine a set of rules for modifying the generic help information using the portion of program code. The device may analyze the program, using the set of rules, to identify information, included in the program, to be included in modified help information. The device may modify the generic help information, to generate the modified help information, using the information identified based on analyzing the program. The device may provide the modified help information for display via the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R.

Patent number: 9588744Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide computer-implemented methods, computer-readable media, and systems for changing the identifier associated with an entity, such as a variable or function, in a portion of code. During editing, a reference may be maintained that identifies the location of each instance of the entity in the code. When the identifier associated with one instance of the entity is changed, the change in the identifier may be propagated throughout the code to change each instance of the identifier in the code. The identifier may be changed without interrupting the workflow of the user and without the need to change to a separate refactoring mode. In some embodiments, a syntactical analysis may be performed and some or all instances of the identifier may be changed based on one or more rules.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R. Bienkowski, John E. Booker, Srinath Avadhanula, Vijay Raghavan

Patent number: 9582400Abstract: A device may provide a user interface that includes a first section for displaying multiple portions of program code and a second section for displaying multiple results of evaluating the multiple portions of program code. The device may detect an evaluation trigger associated with an unevaluated portion of program code of the multiple portions of program code. The device may determine one or more portions of program code to be evaluated based on detecting the evaluation trigger. The one or more portions of program code may be less than the multiple portions of program code. The device may cause the one or more portions of program code to be evaluated to generate one or more corresponding results. The device may provide the one or more corresponding results for display via the second section of the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R.

Patent number: 9547580Abstract: A device may receive an indication to evaluate a portion of program code. The device may cause the portion of program code to be evaluated based on receiving the indication to evaluate the portion of program code. The device may determine an intermediate result used to generate an overall result of evaluating the portion of program code based on causing the portion of program code to be evaluated. The intermediate result may be determined by evaluating a sub-portion of program code included in the portion of program code. The device may receive information that identifies a granularity level for displaying the intermediate result. The granularity level may indicate whether the intermediate result is to be provided for display. The device may selectively provide the intermediate result for display based on the granularity level.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R.

Publication number: 20150067640Abstract: In an embodiment, a method allows interacting with a textual programming language in a development environment. The development environment includes a first field and a second field related to the first field. An entry for the first field is received at the development environment. One or more required programming structure attributes for the second field are determined based on the entry for the first field. A first GUI of one or more input suggestions for the second field is generated. The one or more input suggestions for the second field comply with the one or more required programming structure attributes for the second field. The first GUI is displayed in connection with the textual programming language to illustrate one or more input suggestions for the second field.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2013Publication date: March 5, 2015Applicant: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: John E.

Publication number: 20130024844Abstract: A device receives an input associated with a program code being created or edited, and determines whether to perform an evaluation on the program code based on the input. The device waits for another input to be received when the evaluation is not to be performed, and performs the evaluation on the program code to generate a result, when the evaluation is to be performed. The device determines whether to display the result, waits for the other input to be received when the result is not to be displayed, and provides the result for display when the result is to be displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: January 24, 2013Applicant: THE MATHWORKS, INC.Inventors: Joseph R.
