RAPTOR is very common within the learning environment. This is because the software allows students to write and execute programs using flowcharts. The easy-to-use language and graphical components of RAPTOR are designed to teach the major ideas of computer programming to students. It is typically used in academics to teach introductory programming concepts as well.[4]
