Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) To assist Java programming educations, we have developed a Web-based Java Programming Learning Assistant System (JPLAS). JPLAS provides fill-in-blank problems to let students study Java grammar and basic programming skills by flling the blanked elements in a given Java code. To generate the feasible problems, we have proposed a blank element selection algorithm using the constraint graph to select as many blanks as possible such that they are grammatically correct and unique answers. In this paper, we extend this algorithm by 1) adding operators in conditional expressions for blank candidates, 2) improving the edge generation method in the constraint graph to increase the number of blanks, and 3) introducing the two parameters to change the frequency of selecting blanks. To verify the effectiveness, we apply our extended algorithm to 55 Java codes for fundamental data structure or algorithms, and confirm that our extensions can increase the number of blanks and control the problem difficulty.
