As a teacher I find python simple and effective. However, appreciate feedback from anyone who knows of a Python version with this feature:
Want each interpreted line of code to introduce as a cells on a spreadsheet window each new variable (or array) with its initialized value, and show the updated contents of each previously defined variable (or array). As a student types in a line of code they will see how that line impacts old data and introduces new data. This can now be done manually on a blackboard but is slow and tedious. Here are two simple spreadsheets that show how it might look for a student to step through their code: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FkyzsT4VcGf9APE4IgHEYl4f6EI3C_DdUi_oD9K9shU/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mxIlScRBUa0Qtxg0G65Pw4FupeuDTDXQQbvpON7EH5M/edit?usp=sharing If anyone knows another language (assembler, forth, C, J, ...) which already has this feature, appreciate a link. But as syntax of Python is relatively clean and suited for instruction, much prefer something in Python.
