 Abstract

In this paper we compare the structure of programs written in literate and traditional imperative programming styles. Considering literate programs as "webs" of interconnections, we model and analyze the patterns of connections particular to literate programs, and compare them to the call graph structures of traditional imperative programs. The application of structural graph metrics allow us to visualize the literate and call-graph structures. We then compare, contrast, and interpret the various graph metrics in light of each programming style
