skeletonize
Handles skeletonization and deskeletonizaiton of programs. This allows for easily distributing assignments to students that contain skeleton code, and determining which parts of the skeleton they filled in after the fact, extracting blanks.
skeletonization
Skeletonization works by taking in a piece of code with "skeleton markers" as so:
def factorial(x):
if <<<x == 0>>>:
return <<<1>>>
else:
return <<<x>>> * <<<factorial(x - 1)>>>and converting it into either a skeleton
def factorial(x):
if ______:
return ______
else:
return ______ * ______or a solution
def factorial(x):
if x == 0:
return 1
else:
return x * factorial(x - 1)reskeletonization
Reskeletonization works by taking a skeleton:
def factorial(x):
if <<<x == 0>>>:
return <<<1>>>
else:
return <<<x>>> * <<<factorial(x - 1)>>>and a student solution:
def factorial(x):
if not x:
return 1
else:
return x * factorial(x)and produces a reskeletonized program
def factorial(x):
if <<<not x>>>:
return <<<1>>>
else:
return <<<x>>> * <<<factorial(x)>>>
