Pilot Observational Study of the Eeect of Programming Language on Student Programming Productivity
نویسنده
چکیده
An observational study was carried out with student subjects from a programming class. The goal of the study was to understand the impact of diierent programming languages on the productivity of the students. Students used a language of their choice (C or SML) for the homeworks and recorded eeort expended to complete the assignments. An automated infrastructure was created for homework submission. Data analysis showed that in one of the four programming homeworks students using a functional language (SML) were more productive than students using an imperative language (C) (p < 0:05). There was no signiicant diierence for the other three homeworks.

متن کاملA profit Malmquist productivity index
In some situations the producers desire to maximize total profit of Decision Making Units (DMUs) while the inputs and outputs prices of DMUs change from one time period to another. In this paper, the researchers develop productivity index when producers are going to maximize total profit when the price of inputs and outputs are known.The proposed method uses all price information about inputs a...
