Program language definition is of vital importance to many sections of the computing community, particularly language designers, compiler writers, programmers and theorists. This book begins with a review of the argument favouring the formal definition of a programming language, and the properties that such a definition should possess are discussed. Then the definitions of revised ALGOL 60 and FORTRAN (1966) are examined and criticised. The criticisms are severe but are justified on the ground that they provide the motivation for further directions in language definitions. The definitions of BASIC, COBOL, and ALGOL W are then discussed. Later chapters deal with the definitions of PL/1 and ALGOL 68. The Definition of Programming Languages will be of interest to advanced students in computer science and professionals interested in the problems of language definition." #bibliophile #Algol60 #booksale #Antiquarian #VintageComputing #BooksBooksBooks #ComputerProgramming #collectiblebooks #bookcollecting #Books #Fortran77 #instaread #ChomskyHierarchy #booksforsale #Pascal #Bookworm #ProgrammingLanguages #instabooks #ComputerScience #Bookstagram #Alogl68 #Vintage #Fortran #Basic #readersofinstagram #Cobol #CuttleboneBooks #Algol #CoverArt
