ABSTRACT:
In a program display apparatus, a block portion, an iteration control portion and a data description portion designated by a quote construction are extracted from an inputted program expressed by characters. A relationship of inclusion between these portions and a hierarchical relationship are extracted. Each of these portions is replaced by a figure having, for instance, a rectangular shape, and thereafter displayed on a display screen. When one block portion is included into another block portion, the rectangular figure corresponding to the one block portion is included within the rectangular figure corresponding to another block portion on the display screen. Then, both the inclusive relationship or hierarchical relationship between any two block portions, the iteration control portion and a data description portion designated by a quote instruction of the program may be visualized.
