The Principles of Programming Languages (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781647269852)

A programming language is a formal system of instructions used to define algorithms and create software that executes them. A few examples of widely used programming languages are Java, C, C++, and COBOL. The study of a programming language can be categorized into two main components: syntax and semantics. In programming languages, the representation of data and processes is achieved through a set of primitive building blocks, which are governed by specific syntactic and semantic rules. The development of a programming language involves the creation of key components, most notably the language specification and its implementation. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of programming languages which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. It outlines the processes and applications of the subject matter in detail. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
