 Figure 1 : Gender This chapter presents the characteristics of a human population as used in opinion research. It includes such information as gender and other characteristic relevant to this study. 20 students from 2nd year BCS of FSKKP participated in this study. The number of responses is 20 which is they gave 100% cooperations to me. From the whole respondents, 10 of them are male and another 10 are female.      **4.1 __Findings__ ** **4.1.1 __ The Causes Of Problems In Programming Subjects __ **   Figure 2 : Frequency the level of the subjects The bar chart illustrates the frequency level of the programming subjects among the 2nd year BCS of FSKKP students. As shown, the highest frequency is easy and the lowest is too easy. Frequency for difficult level is 6, twice than the too difficult level of the subject. It can be concluded that most of students said the level of programming subject is easy.   <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Figure 3 : Frequency of the level of understanding <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The bar chart shows the frequency of the level of understanding among the 2nd year BCS of FSKKP students. According to the chart, high level of understanding is the highest with frequency 20 of respondents. The lowest is the low level of understanding with only 2 respondents. The average level of understanding is 15 frequency of students. Based on the frequency, it can be concluded that most students have very high level of understanding. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Figure 4 : Percentages of the factor confuse to declare variable <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The pie chart indicates the percentages of the factor confuse to declare variable among the 2nd year BCS of FSKKP students. Illustrated by the chart, 50% of respondents are confuse to declare variable. The other respondents are not confused which is also 50% of them. Based on the percentages, it can be concluded that some of students have problem to declare variable in programming. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Figure 5 : Percentages of the factor teaching environment <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The pie chart illustrates a research on the factor of teaching environment. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Based on the pie chart, there are 60% of respondents are boring, while other 40% respondents are not boring with the teaching environment.

It can be concluded that the main cause of problems in programming subjects among the 2nd year BCS of FSKKP students is the difficulty of the programming language. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Moreover, the language is not only difficult but it quite hard to understand and to solve it. The understanding level of students are not same, so it depends on the students on how long they take time to solve the programming task. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Kolling (1999) find that one obvious problem is that students use parts of the language that are not in the officially sanctioned subset (because they read examples from a textbook). The lecturer then needs to explain why it should not be used, or accepts its use and is forced to deal with it. Student’s own understanding will cause the problem. They need to ask people who expert in the programming subject such as lecturer, programmer and others. According to the step, students can solve their problem in programming which it quite difficult for them. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;">
