The book offers an elementary introduction to the semantics of programming languages in a form which is accessible to students who are not very advanced in their undergraduate career. The book is structured in six chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the necessary preliminaries for the rest of the book...

Lux is being built to be the most extensible and versatile language ever made.Not only can its syntax be extended through macros, but even the semantics of the language, its available roster of optimizations, and even its mechanisms for code-generation can be extended with a mechanism for ...

Semantics and the expressive power resulting from modularity can now be studied in terms of the data structures and the accessing paths to them established during the execution of the control statements of the language. Integrated Software Convenience and saved time, work, and effort are the ...
For conditional expressions containing NULL, the query language uses the semantics defined by SQL92. Briefly, these semantics are as follows.If a comparison or arithmetic operation has an unknown value, it yields a NULL value. Two NULL values are not equal. Comparing two NULL values yields an ...
Programming languages such as Python, Java, and C++ have their own syntax and semantics. For example, in Python, the "==" operator is used to compare two values, while the "=" operator is used to assign a value to a variable. Understanding the semantics of programming languages is crucial...
The symbols and formulas of such languages stand in precisely specified syntactic and semantic relations to one another 2. (Logic) logic a logistic system for which an interpretation is provided: distinguished from formal calculus in that the semantics enable it to be regarded as about some ...
We present the imperative primitives of Eesterel and the temporal manipulations they permit. We give a small programming example. We present two mathematical semantics of Eesterel, which are given by conditional rewrite rules and related by a correctness theorem. The behavioral semantics defines the ...
