In an example method, a device presents a user interface on a touch sensitive surface of the device. The user interface includes a first portion for displaying a sequence of code and a second portion for displaying suggested segments of code. The device receives one or more character inputs in the first portion of the user interface, and determines, based on the one or more character inputs, one or more suggested segments of code. The device presents the one or more suggested segments of code in the second portion of the user interface, and receives a touch input selecting a particular suggested segment of code. The device inserts the selected suggested segment of code into the first portion of the user interface.

Touch-based interactive learning environment

In an example method, a user interface is presented by a device on a touch sensitive surface of the device. The user interface includes a first portion for displaying a sequence of code and a second portion for displaying suggested bracketed functions. The device receives a first touch gesture dragging a suggested bracketed function from the second portion to the first portion of the user interface. Responsive to receiving the first touch gesture, the suggested bracketed function is inserted into the sequence of code. The bracketed function encloses at least a portion of the sequence of code. The device receives a second touch gesture dragging an end bracket associated with the inserted bracketed function. Responsive to receiving the second touch gesture, the sequence of code is modified such that the bracketed function encloses an additional portion of the sequence of code.
