Abstraction of ‘C’ Program from Algorithm

Abstract

In the past few decades, computers have become most useful tool, and are being used in a variety of areas like Industry, educational institutions, University, Hospitals, Business, etc. In almost all these areas, algorithmic solutions to problems are common. The usage of both hardware and software is increasing drastically. Emphasis was given on the development of application software’s. The traditional approach of developing any software comprises of gathering the requirement from client organization, writing the specification and then developing the design of a system in the form of algorithm and afterward implementing this algorithm by using any programming language. Usually, the algorithm is written in a natural language which is either structured or unstructured and these are basically the pseudocodes and their implementation on programming languages change because of the syntax of the language. There is no defined way to implement an algorithm because the algorithm may be translated in more than one programming language and each translation produces different implementations. Even though, when two programmers translate the same algorithm using the same programming language the implementation differs. In this paper, we are proposing an automated tool which takes the input in the form of natural language statements (algorithm) then restructures the statements which are amenable for the further process. The restructuring statements are then converted to the equivalent C program. The proposed approach works on all the algorithms which are specified in the defined template.
