Abstract

Stack Overflow [1] is a software developer's most popular Q&A platform. The questions posed in Stack Overflow usually contain the code snippet as a medium for sharing knowledge and learning. Stack Overflow users are responsible for properly tagging a question's programming language and assume that the programming language of the snippets is the same as the tag itself. A programming language analysis of questions posted on Stack Overflow is being suggested in this study using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML). The best performance is given by the application of ML software in mixing text and code snippets for a query. These results show that a fragment of only certain lines of source code can be defined in the programming language. We visualize the programming languages feature space to determine the properties of the information within the language-related questions.
