First Claim
1. A method of computer programming for a target programming language, wherein the computer programming includes at least one programming command, comprising:
- providing a predefined command sentence, the predefined command sentence comprising at least a portion of a programming command and a structure other than a syntax of the target programming language;
providing an entry component corresponding to at least one word in the predefined command sentence;
receiving data relating to an input value for the entry component; and
converting the predefined command sentence and the input value for the entry component into a completed command sentence, wherein the programming command comprises the completed command sentence.

Abstract
A programming editor and creator allows users with minimal knowledge of a computer language syntax to generate computer source code using a structured rather than freeform process. A predefined command sentence is provided representing at least a portion of a programming command, and includes words, which may be defined as constant or enterable words. Enterable words may be required or optional, and correspond to entry components. Each word may be defined according to word types, including list words, variable list words, variable words, mathematical words, condition words or Boolean words. Enterable words may include repeatable words which may be inserted multiple times within a command to create conditional statements, mathematical equations and string concatenations. Input values are provided for the entry components. The predefined command sentence with the input values is converted to a completed command sentence corresponding to the programming command, which is translated to a target programming language.
