Download Programming Languages and Operational Semantics: A Concise by Maribel Fernández PDF

By Maribel Fernández

Delivering a concise creation to the basic ideas in programming languages, utilizing suggestions from operational semantics, this ebook highlights 3 significant programming paradigms:

• principal languages: the most good points of those languages are illustrated with examples in Java, Python, C;
• sensible languages: glossy languages comparable to ML and Haskell are used to explain the useful sort of programming;
• good judgment languages: the final a part of the booklet supplies an outline of common sense programming utilizing Prolog.

Following a normal description of every relatives of languages, their semantics are studied utilizing summary machines and structural operational semantics. Programming Languages and Operational Semantics supplies an in-depth research of the elemental ideas in programming languages rather than a trifling survey of languages, helping the knowledge of the basic notions in programming languages over easily describing their properties.

It is addressed to undergraduate scholars, as a supplement to programming classes.

Tn ]) Once we know the meaning of terms, we can specify the truth values of formulas. 9 (Denotation of formulas) A formula P(t1 , . . , tn ) is true if ([t1 ], . . , [tn ]) ∈ [P], that is, if [P]([t1 ], . . , [tn ]); otherwise it is false. For the distinguished symbols T and F, we define [T ] to be true and [F] to be false. 2 Logic Formulas 27 – ⇒ denotes implication, φ ⇒ ψ is true if each time φ is true, ψ is also true; – ¬ denotes negation: ¬φ is true if φ is false, and it is false if φ is true.

End; procedure P2; begin ... x ... end; begin ... x ... end. { local variable } { global variable } 50 3 General Features of Imperative Languages Since Pascal has static scoping, the reference to x in P1 corresponds to the local integer variable, whereas the references to x in P2 and in the main program correspond to the global real variable. – A dynamically scoped language is one where the scope of each variable depends on the calling sequence of subprograms. In other words, it depends on the order in which the instructions are executed.

Tn . In the induction step, P(t1 ), . . , P(tn ) are the induction hypotheses. Similarly, to define a function on all the elements of a set defined by structural induction, it is sufficient to define it for the basic elements, and to give a recursive definition for the elements defined by constructors. More precisely, to define function f on a set defined by structural induction from the basic elements l1 , . . , lm , using constructors c1 , . . , ck , where ci has arity n i , we need to define: – f (li ) for each i such that 1 ≤ i ≤ m, and – f (ci (t1 , .
