dc.description.abstractThis paper describes a system which automatically generates program documentation. Starting with a plan generated by analyzing the program, the system computes several kinds of summary information about the program. The most notable are: a summary of the cliched computations performed by the loops in the program, and a summary of the types and uses of the arguments to the program. Based on this information, a few English sentences are produced describing each function analysed.en
