Abstract
Teaching formal methods, especially semantics of programming languages is an important aspect of theoretical informatics. The learning process often includes a lot of mathematics and learning different notations, which appears to be very difficult for students. In this paper, we present a new interactive tool for visualization of the structural operational semantics of a simple imperative program. We demonstrate our approach on the example of a simple program, where we visualize the inference process of small steps semantic method.
