Beschreibung

Hardcover. This textbook is a broad but rigorous survey of the theoretical basis for the design, definition, and implementation of programming languages, and of systems for specifying and proving program behaviour. Both imperative and functional programming are covered, as well as the ways of integrating these aspects into more general languages. Basic concepts and their properties are described with mathematical rigour, but the mathematical development is balanced by numerous examples of applications, particularly of program specification and proof, concurrent programming, functional programming (including the use of continuations and lazy evaluation), and type systems (including subtyping, polymorphism, and modularization). Assuming only knowledge of elementary programming, this text is perfect for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses in programming language theory, and will also appeal to researchers and professionals in designing or implementing computer languages. A unified treatment of the basic principles of programming languages. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
