Natural language processing for programming, which aims to use NLP techniques to assist programming, has experienced an explosion in recent years. However, there is no literature that systematically reviews related work from the full spectrum. In this paper, we comprehensively investigate existing work, ranging from early deductive models to the latest competition-level models. Another advantage of this paper is the completeness of the technique category, which provides easy access to locating and comparing future works.
