Abstract
Program comprehension is viewed as a two-stage process; the two stages broadly consists of formation and use of a mental representation of the program. Control and execution structures of the program are expected to play a dominant role in the first stage, i.e. formation of the mental representation. This article reports results of an experiment to study the effect of control and execution structures on program comprehension. Results point to certain limitation of existing complexity metrics.
