Václav Dobiáš; Václav Šimandl; Jirí Vanícek – Informatics in Education, 2024
The paper discusses an alternative method of assessing the difficulty of pupils' programming tasks to determine their age appropriateness. Building a program takes the form of its successive iterations. Thus, it is possible to monitor the number of times such a program was built by the solver. The variance of the number of program builds can be…
