Automatic patch generation by learning correct code

The article discusses the issues of automated teaching of programming. Programming is one of the fastest growing and promising industries in the modern world. Based on information from recruitment agencies, there is now a shortage of highly specialized programmers, and it will only increase. Currently, employers have increased requirements for the qualification of programmers. Therefore, teaching programming in courses or advanced training of programmers is especially relevant. Automation makes learning more affordable. The role of automated learning on-line is increasing at this time. The article analyzes the principles of construction and typical elements of existing training courses. And it also analyzes methods of increasing the efficiency automated learning that can be done online. Creating circumstances under which the student received the necessary practical skills is an actual issue with such training. These are the skills of writing and debugging correct code in a programming language in the absence or with minimal presence of a teacher. Checking the code by the teacher, searching for errors and identifying inefficient code is an important point in full-time programming training. At this point, the student receives quick feedback from the teacher. Training tasks should be created so that code validation can be performed automatically. The article suggests changes and additions that will increase the effectiveness of existing automated courses of teaching of programming. The analysis of existing software code verification systems was performed. And the verification methods that are applicable in training were identified. Automatic verification of program code can take learning to a new higher level.

I want to distinguish between two fundamental modes of being. The primary mode is typified by activities that are absolutely unique and at the same time absolutely universal, such as being born, living, growing up, eating, working, playing, loving, dying. These activities originate from my undivided being. The secondary mode is typified by activities that are socially and culturally determined. I perform these as a person (personamask). When I act as an individual I cannot be replaced by someone else; it is impos-sible to measure these activities (they have no 'market-value') and I don't learn them in the literal sense - all this in contradistinction to my social or role-activities. Accordingly I want to distinguish between human and a-human language (the terms have no ethical implications), or between the I-mode and the YOU-mode and between two resulting ways of speaking. I can speak as an individual and as a person and these ways of speaking are typified in compliance with the above-mentioned characteristics. Human language is perhaps a somewhat neglected phenomenon in linguistics. An allied phenomenon is the tendency in our culture to transfer individual speaking to the domain of speaking as a person. When I mark off these distinctions against certain dimensions in socio-pragmalinguistics I find that orientation on the illocutionary effect plays a prominent part in personal speaking. Splitting up myself into speaker and hearer I project myself into the hearer, planning my formulations from his point of view to make myself understood. When I speak as an individual I am not primarily focused on communication and the illocutionary effect. Making myself understood to an actual or potential hearer is subordinate to the adequate expression of what lies on my mind. Moreover, when I speak as a person I am often focused on the perlocutionary effect, that I can try to act upon by means of conditional relevance and selection of the correct code. The options I have between formal varieties are in fact to be explained in terms of the directive function of language. When I speak as an individual the idea of communicative interaction recedes into the background and the issue of the perlocutionary effect is left out. Concerning the substance of my speaking I have at my disposal a register of words, expressions, syntactic constructions and last but not least para-linguistic means that correspond with this expressive function of language. Probably personal speaking has a set of distinctions that are character-ized in terms of different distances from individual speaking. When the relation between individual and personal speaking goes astray, the distancing from my individual 'I1 can turn into alienation from myself.

This book comes in two parts. The first edition provides the fundamentals and basic verilog designs to start with establishing a through foundation. This book simplifies the switch from digital fundamentals to an ASIC or a VLSI circuit design. Verilog is discussed alongside hardware components explaining the link between writing the correct code to thinking the right hardware. The reader is also encouraged to think of code given a certain hardware. Stripping off the redundant content, a code based approach to learning circuit design is presented in this edition.
