Code tracing is an important skill to have. Some argue that it is necessary to learn code tracing, before writing code. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has published an interesting quick read on how students could be guided to trace a code snippet. Maybe we can develop a task, which requires a user to execute the three steps display in this paper.

  1. Highlight all expressions
  2. Use arrow to show the order of execution
  3. Follow the program and fill in the variables table and the output box

The most important aspect of this task would be to generate a good statistic, which should help the task creator to identify possible misconceptions.
