Abstract
An algorithm of object-oriented program comprehension and description is proposed in this paper. This methodology represents the program structure in visual form. Firstly, the code is analyzed. With the code analysis of compiling technique, knowledge related to the program structure can be concluded. Secondly, the knowledge is conducted for abstraction and inference. Lastly, software and algorithmic model are reconstructed. Program comprehension penetrates into algorithm structure analysis under function-level.
