EET 3150 - Introduction to C++ In object-oriented programming, a method is a programmed procedure that is defined as part of a class and included in any object of that class. In object-oriented programming, objects are the things you think about first in designing a program and they are also the units of code that are eventually derived from the process. A first-generation language (1GL) is machine language or the level of instructions and data that the processor is actually given to work on (which in conventional computers is a string of 0s and 1s). cset.sp.utoledo.edu /cpp_int.html   (1840 words)

Is LabVIEW a general purpose programming language? - The VIEW - Articles - NI Developer Zone - National Instruments Stated another way, the original question indirectly implies that general purpose programming is in some sense a larger problem or a superset of measurement and automation programming. In general, measurement and automation programs have to deal with all of the same issues as general purpose programs, the common issues of data structures and algorithms, file I/O, network I/O, user I/O, database access, printing, and on and on. Oddly enough, the narrowest views of what is considered a programming language are held by people with a computer science background. www.ni.com /devzone/lvzone/view_archived1.htm   (1821 words)

The Goedel Programming Language Gödel is a declarative, general-purpose programming language in the family of logic programming languages. It also has a flexible computation rule and a pruning operator which generalises the commit of the concurrent logic programming languages. There has always been a large gap between the theory of logic programming (as in "Foundations of Logic Programming", for example) and the much more complex and unsatisfactory semantics of practical logic programming languages, such as Prolog. www.cs.bris.ac.uk /~bowers/goedel.html   (789 words)

Objective Caml - a General Purpose High-level Programming Language Objective Caml is a general purpose programming language that combines functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. The Objective Caml implementation comes with general purpose libraries (arbitrary precision arithmetics, multi-threading, a toolkit for graphical user interfaces, etc.) and a Unix-style programming environment including a replay debugger and a time profiler. Programming in the large is facilitated by a full-fledge class-based object-oriented layer and an expressive module system. www.ercim.org /publication/Ercim_News/enw36/leroy.html   (540 words)

Design and Specification of Embedded Systems in Java Using Successive, Formal Refinement General purpose languages such as C and C++ are usually used for the design of software, while hardware description languages, such as Verilog and VHDL, are used in the design of hardware. In general, programs expressed in a general-purpose language cannot be expressed as equivalent systems in a specific model of computation. In general, the number of transformations required to attain compliance with the policy of use was not unreasonable, and depended greatly on the original designer’s programming style. www-cad.eecs.berkeley.edu /~jimy/research/dac98/dac98.html   (3935 words)

Introduction to the Tcl Programming Language Tcl (pronounced Tickle) is a general purpose programming language originally intended to be embedded in other applications as a configuration and extension language. In addition, Tcl is a complete and well-designed programming language, whereas many existing configuration languages were designed (to be kind) in an ad hoc manner. In addition, a number of our Unix applications are written in Tcl (see below), and Tcl is the programming language of the University of Chicago BSDAC Phoenix Project. www.lib.uchicago.edu /keith/tcl-course   (1394 words)

Benchmark Execution Speed of LabVIEW Applications - Tutorial - Development Library - National Instruments On average, applications developed using LabVIEW execute in the same amount of time as the same application would if it were built in a general-purpose programming language such as C or Visual Basic. When deciding which programming language to use for developing applications, it is important to consider several different factors, including the execution time for the finished application. LabVIEW is a highly productive graphical development environment with the performance and flexibility of a programming language, as well as high-level functionality and configuration utilities designed specifically for measurement and automation applications. zone.ni.com /devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/DC9B6DD177D91D6286256C9400733D7F?opendocument   (580 words)

Lightweight Languages 2003 Abstracts WASH/CGI is a family of four lightweight languages specifically designed to tackle the different aspects of interactive Web programming with greater ease by dealing with such problems internally instead of putting all the burden on the programmer. Many programming languages commonly used for interactive Web programming do not help the programmer to solve her problems. The document language provides the means to construct parameterized XHTML fragments and forms in a type-safe manner ensuring the quasi-validity of all generated documents at compile time. ll3.ai.mit.edu /abstracts.html   (1131 words)

Some information on the Ada programming language Ada is an internationally standardized, general-purpose programming language used in a wide variety of applications -- from missile control to payroll processing to air traffic control. Ada contains features commonly found in other programming languages and provides additional support for modern programming practices, for controlling special purpose hardware to meet real-time deadlines, and for the creation and enhancement of large and complex programs by groups of programmers over long periods of time. Ada's Generic program units also allow programmers to perform the same logical function on more than one type of data. www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be /~dirk/ada-belgium/ada.html   (567 words)

Govinda.doc The purpose of Interface specification is to inform the user of the Interface about the available method signatures and methods of the correct conditions of its use, to ensure that the translator can check that these conditions have been met. Language extension is much more difficult & The language is much complicated by the rules. i.e., the language is not a completely free format language. www21.brinkster.com /infoway02/Govinda.doc   (2713 words)

General Python FAQ Python is a high-level general-purpose programming language that can be applied to many different classes of problems. In general, no. There are already millions of lines of Python code around the world, so any change in the language that invalidates more than a very small fraction of existing programs has to be frowned upon. While learning to use a statically typed language is important in the long term, it is not necessarily the best topic to address in the students' first programming course. www.python.org /doc/faq/general.html   (8671 words)

The Extensible Templating Language: An XML-based Restricted Markup-Generating Language Server-side markup generation is dominated by expressive and flexible general-purpose programming languages such as Java, Perl, and PHP. Instead of embedding a general-purpose programming language, the Extensible Templating Language is a domain-specific language specifically tailored to the needs of generating markup. Worse, templating languages generally are ignorant of the rules of the markup being generated: the mistaken close tag on line 11 of Fig. www2003.org /cdrom/papers/poster/p310/p310-badros.html   (1407 words)

JetBrains onBoard Online Magazine :: Language Oriented Programming: The Next Programming Paradigm This is because with a programmer I can use natural language which is very rich, but for the computer, I must use a general-purpose programming language which is much less expressive. In mainstream programming, most of the time spent ‘programming’ is really just finding ways to express natural language concepts in terms of programming level abstractions, which is difficult, not very creative, and more or less a waste of time. Programming languages today have only tens of notions that can be expressed. www.onboard.jetbrains.com /is1/articles/04/10/lop/2.html   (802 words)

Installer: Using a home-made language Learning this ad-hoc computer language costs a lot of extra effort, it is easy to overlook mistakes when you use it, and there is no way around it. Of course those companies sell this language as something ‘special made for installation”, but whatever fancy description they use, it is not the language a developer likes. Vendors of installation tools try to solve the problem by extending the ’no programming required’ paradigm, adding additional parameters, wizards, templates and expensive training, but this only increases the labyrinth for the programmer. www.lizajet.com /delphi/design/homemadelanguage   (304 words)

Exploring the Simula Programming Language Simula was originally designed and implemented as a language for discrete event simulation, but was later expanded and re-implemented as a general purpose programming language. Anecdotally, when someone once asserted that Simula was not a general-purpose language, Nygaard (one of the designers of Simula) countered by saying that Simula could do everthing that Fortran and Algol could, and more, so what would need to be removed before it could be called general-pupose!" These were the first two object-oriented programming languages. www.hitmill.com /programming/cpp/simula.html   (167 words)

How To Pick A Programming Language Let L be the set of all programming languages ever conceived past, present, and future. Most of the time, these problems have a lot more to do with poor programming and algorithm/data structure design than they do the language. A solid OO language should be in your bag of tricks, but it's not the only thing you will need. www.tundraware.com /Technology/How-To-Pick-A-Programming-Language   (1310 words)

Canonware Onyx Onyx is perhaps the most advanced stack-based general purpose programming language in existence (not that there are many others). Onyx is a powerful stack-based, multi-threaded, interpreted, general purpose programming language similar to PostScript. This makes it possible to use Onyx in restricted environments like boot loaders and operating system kernels, without sacrificing functionality that is useful for general purpose programming. www.canonware.com /onyx   (295 words)

The Simula Programming Language It was originally designed and implemented as a language for discrete event simulation, but was later expended and reimplemented as a full sacle general purpose programming language. Although SIMULA is an extension of the programming language ALGOL 60, it is not a true extension of it. The SIMULA programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dhal and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center (NCC) in Olslo between 1962 and 1967. www.engin.umd.umich.edu /CIS/course.des/cis400/simula/sim.txt   (290 words)

XML specialized programming/transformation/query languages: can onefit a If we follow the parallel between XML specific and general purpose programming languages, we may wonder if it's possible to define a single language which will fit everybody's needs and even if this is something which is not counter productive! The feeling I have following the threads about XSLT2.0/Xpath2.0/XQuery is that it will probably be as difficult to agree on a single language for XML as it would be to agree on all using the same general purpose programming language. Furthermore, we see that a number of basic design decisions (structured vs object oriented, declarative vs procedural, static vs dynamic typing,...) need to be done and that each of them has an impact on the profile of the language (there is no "right answer" for each of these choices but rather different target applications). www.stylusstudio.com /xmldev/200205/post60720.html   (226 words)

Towards Safe Distributed Application Development In this paper, we investigate general-purpose programming language features for supporting third-party implementations of programming abstractions for distributed interaction among components. Achieving such safety usually goes through specific compilation to generate the glue between components, or making use of a single programming language for all individual components with a hardwired abstraction for the distributed interaction. We then discuss the impact of these features also on other distributed programming abstractions, and hence on the engineering of distributed applications in general, pointing out lacks of mainstream programming environments such as Java as well as.NET. csdl2.computer.org /persagen/DLAbsToc.jsp?resourcePath=/dl/proceedings/&toc=comp/proceedings/icse/2004/2163/00/2163toc.xml&DOI=10.1109/ICSE.2004.1317457   (263 words)

Perl.com: The Source for Perl -- perl development, perl conferences Sprog is a graphical programming environment written in Perl, programmable by connecting components visually and setting their properties. Perl's suitability as a glue language allows you to connect two applications that wouldn't normally communicate by translating their data files between formats. The ultimate goal of all programming is to be as unproductive as possible--to write games. www.perl.com   (2100 words)
