Patent ID: 8225274

Claim:
A method for aiding programmers in identifying a location in a computer program while coding, said method comprising: a processor of a computer system receiving information from a user during said coding, wherein said information identifies a plurality of user-delineated code modules, wherein said plurality of user-delineated code modules comprises said computer program, wherein said computer program comprises a plurality of operational tasks, and wherein every said user-delineated code module is part of one operational task of said plurality of operational tasks; said processor receiving further information from said user during said coding, wherein said further information associates each code module of said plurality of user-delineated code modules with a module color of a plurality of user-chosen associated background colors, wherein each module of all modules of said user-delineated code modules that share a common operational task of said plurality of operational tasks is associated with an associated task color of said plurality of user-chosen associated background colors, and wherein at least two of said associated task colors are distinct; and said processor displaying during said coding a displayed module of said plurality of user-delineated code modules against an associated task color of said plurality of user-chosen associated background colors that has been associated with said displayed module.
