Summary :

Object-oriented programming requires different skills from those of traditional structured programming. Thus, a good interactive environment for beginners of object-oriented programming should be provided. We have designed and implemented a visual environment of object-oriented programming for beginners. If a programmer draws a diagram of the tree of the hierarchy of classes visually by using our tool, the relationship between superclasses and subclasses are automatically established. Moreover, in order to prevent careless mistakes to override methods, the prototype environment in the Smalltalk language checks written methods. We conducted an experiment with our tool and evaluated its usefulness.
