Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-2 Chapter 1 Topics Motivation Programming Domains Language Evaluation Criteria Influences on Language Design Language Categories Language Design Trade-Offs Implementation Methods Programming Environments

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-3 Motivation: Why Study Programming Languages? Increased ability to express ideas Improved background for choosing appropriate languages Greater ability to learn new languages Understand significance of implementation Ability to design new languages Overall advancement of computing

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-4 Programming Domains Scientific applications –Large number of floating point computations Business applications –Produce reports, use decimal numbers and characters Artificial intelligence –Symbols rather than numbers manipulated Systems programming –Need efficiency because of continuous use Scripting languages –Put a list of commands in a file to be executed Special-purpose languages

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-5 Language Evaluation Criteria Readability –The most important criterium –Factors: Overall simplicity –Too many features is bad –Multiplicity of features is bad Orthogonality –Makes the language easy to learn and read –Meaning is context independent –A relatively small set of primitive constructs can be combined in a relatively small number of ways –Every possible combination is legal –Lack of orthogonality leads to exceptions to rules

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-6 Language Evaluation Criteria –Readability factors (continued) Control statements Defining data types and structures Syntax considerations –Identifier forms –Special words –Form and meaning

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-7 Language Evaluation Criteria Writability –Factors: Simplicity and orthogonality Support for abstraction Expressivity Reliability –Factors: Type checking Exception handling Aliasing Readability and writability

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-8 Language Evaluation Criteria Cost –Categories Training programmers to use language Writing programs Compiling programs Executing programs Language implementation system Reliability Maintaining programs Others: portability, generality, well-definedness

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-9 Influences on Language Design Computer architecture: Von Neumann We use imperative languages, at least in part, because we use von Neumann machines –Data and programs stored in same memory –Memory is separate from CPU –Instructions and data are piped from memory to CPU –Basis for imperative languages Variables model memory cells Assignment statements model piping Iteration is efficient

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-10 Von Neumann Architecture

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-11 Influences on Language Design Programming methodologies –1950s and early 1960s: Simple applications; worry about machine efficiency –Late 1960s: People efficiency became important; readability, better control structures Structured programming Top-down design and step-wise refinement –Late 1970s: Process-oriented to data-oriented data abstraction –Middle 1980s: Object-oriented programming

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-12 Language Categories Imperative –Central features are variables, assignment statements, and iteration –C, Pascal Functional –Main means of making computations is by applying functions to given parameters –LISP, Scheme

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-13 Language Categories Logic –Rule-based –Rules are specified in no special order –Prolog Object-oriented –Encapsulate data objects with processing –Inheritance and dynamic type binding –Grew out of imperative languages –C++, Java

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-14 Language Design Trade-Offs Reliability vs. cost of execution Readability vs. writability Flexibility vs. safety

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-15 Layered View of Computer

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-16 Implementation Methods Compilation –Translate high-level program to machine code –Slow translation –Fast execution

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-17 Compilation Process

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-18 Implementation Methods Pure interpretation –No translation –Slow execution –Becoming rare

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-19 Pure Interpretation

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-20 Implementation Methods Hybrid implementation systems –Small translation cost –Medium execution speed

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-21 Hybrid Implementation System

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.1-22 Programming Environments The collection of tools used in software development UNIX –An older operating system and tool collection Borland JBuilder –An integrated development environment for Java Microsoft Visual Studio.NET –A large, complex visual environment –Used to program in C#, Visual BASIC.NET, Jscript, J#, or C++
