Abstract

Solving problems is an integral part of learning in Computer Science. In order to provide students with a vast supply of problems with which to practice, we propose to use applets that automatically generate problems. In this paper, we first discuss the capabilities required of such applets, and then, present the design and features of an applet we have developed to automatically generate problems on static scope in Pascal.
