Abstract

The invention is a computer programming method that includes inputting a drawing shape or drawing figure into a computer via a user interface of the computer. In response to a prompt that is generated related to the input drawing shape or drawing figure, data is input into the computer via the user interface. Computer program code is then synthesized that is related to the input drawing shape or drawing figure and the input data. The foregoing steps can be repeated for at least one other drawing shape or drawing figure that has an entry point connected to a previously entered drawing shape or drawing figure.

Claims

1. A method of computer programming comprising:

(a) inputting a drawing shape or drawing figure into a computer via a user interface of said computer;

(b) inputting data into said computer via the user interface in response to a prompt that is generated related to the drawing shape or drawing figure input in step (a); and

(c) synthesizing computer programming code related to the drawing shape or drawing figure input in step (a) and the data input in step (b).

2. The method of claim 1, further including repeating steps (a)-(c) for at least one other drawing shape or drawing figure that has an entry point connected to a previously entered drawing shape or drawing figure.
