This software developed by Jean-Pierre Fournier allows a more easy learning of basic mechanisms of object oriented algorithms, by showing what happens during their running process.

The basic notions of this algorithmic, which match the actual programming techniques, are the traditional algorithmic notions (structure of programmes, data structures, iterating or recursive programming...) together with notions bounded to object oriented programming (encapsulation, derivation, generic programming, polymorphism, handling of exceptional situations...)<

Our software shows algorithms written in a particular syntax associated with a grammar. A pseudo-Pascal like grammar and a grammar matching the formalism defined by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest et Clifford Stein in their book " Introduction to Algorithms " are given.

In its actual version, our software doesn't allow any modification of algorithms after their loading. The user who wishes to do so may separately use any text editor and then load his algorithm again.

The main menu allows to:
