It is addressed to undergraduate students, as a complement to programming languages or operational semantics courses. There are three parts in the book, highlighting three major programming paradigms: - imperative languages: the main features of these languages are illustrated using Java, C, Pascal - functional languages: modern languages such as ML and Haskell are used to describe the functional style of programming - logic languages: the last part of the book gives an overview of logic programming using Prolog. After a general description of each family of languages, their semantics are studied using abstract machines and structural operational semantics. The book gives an in-depth analysis of the basic concepts in programming languages instead of a mere survey of languages, privileging the understanding of the basic techniques underlying the semantics of languages over simply describing their properties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"College Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46896795746455,"sku":"9780954300630","price":1418.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780954300630.webp?v=1770359962","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/programming-languages-and-operational-semantics-an-introduction-9780954300630","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
