INTRODUCTION : PROGRAMMING PARADIGMS

Goals / Objectives To gain an understanding of the basic structure of programming languages: – Data types, control structures, naming conventions,... To learn the principles underlying all programming languages: – So that it is easier to learn new languages To study different language paradigms: – Functional (Scheme), Imperative (C), Object-Oriented (C++, Java), Logic (Prolog). – So that you can select an appropriate language for a task

What is a Programming Language? “A language intended for use by a person to express a process by which a computer can solve a problem” -Hope and Jipping “A set of conventions for communicating an algorithm” -E.Horowitz “ The art of programming is the art of organizing complexity” -Dijkstra, 1972

Design Criteria for PL Readable – comments, names, (…) syntax Simple to learn – Feature multiplicity E.g.:-Count=count+1, count+=1,count++. – Orthogonal - small number of concepts combine regularly and systematically (without exceptions). Portable – language standardization – Ease with which programs can be moved from one implementation to another Writability – How easily a language can be used to create programs for a chosen problem domain. Abstraction – control and data structures that hide detail Efficient

Why learn more than one PL? So you can choose the right language for a given problem – If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. So you can learn a new language more easily later – As your job changes, you may need to used different languages – As our understanding of programming improves, new languages are created To learn new ways of thinking about problems – Different languages encourage you to think about problems in different ways – “Paradigms”

What is a Paradigm? A way of looking at a problem and seeing a program – What kind of parts do you look for? Problem: Print a “large X” of size n. E.g., size 5 is X X X X X

Paradigms of Programming? There are several ways to think about computation: – a set of instructions to be executed – a set of expressions to be evaluated – a set of rules to be applied – a set of objects to be arranged – a set of messages to be sent and received

Some Programming Paradigms Procedural – examples: C, Pascal, Basic, Fortran Functional – examples: Lisp, ML Object-oriented – examples: C++, Java, Smalltalk Rule-based (or Logic) – example: Prolog

Why so many? Most important: the choice of paradigm (and therefore language) depends on how humans best think about the problem Other considerations: – efficiency – compatibility with existing code – availability of translators

Models of Computation RAM machine – procedural directed acyclic graphs – Smalltalk model of O-O partial recursive functions – Lisp and ML Markov algorithms – Prolog is loosely based on these

Lots of Languages There are many programming languages out there Lots of other PL-like objects – document languages, e.g. LaTeX, Postscript – command languages, e.g. bash, MATLAB – markup languages, e.g. HTML and XML – specification languages, e.g. UML

Issues for all Languages Can it be understood by people and processed by machines? – although translation may be required Sufficient expressive power? – can we say what needs to be said, at an appropriate level of abstraction?

Translation Compilation – Translate into instructions suitable for some other (lower level) machine – During execution, that machine maintains program state information Interpretation – May involve some translation – Interpreter maintains program state

Trade-offs Compilation – lower level machine may be faster, so programs run faster – compilation can be expensive – examples: C (and Java?) Interpretation – more ability to perform diagnostics (or changes) at run-time – examples: Basic, UNIX shells, Lisp
