This book is intended as a text for a course in programming
languages. The pre requisites for such a course are insight in
structured programming and knowledge as well as practical
experience of at least one (e.g., Pascal) of the programming
languages treated in the book. The emphasis is on language concepts
rather than on syntactic details. The book covers a number of
important language concepts that are related to data struc tures.
The comparison of the programming languages Pascal, Algol 68, PL/1
and Ada consists in investigating how these concepts are supported
by each of these languages. Interesting evaluation criteria are
generality, simplicity, safety, readability and portability. The
study of programming languages is based on a simple model called
SMALL. This model serves as a didactic vehicle for describing,
comparing and evaluating data structures in various programming
languages. Each chapter centers around a specific language concept.
It consists of a general discussion followed by a number of
language sections, one for each of the languages Pascal, Algol 68,
PL/1 and Ada. Each of these sections contains a number of
illustrating program fragments written in the programming language
concerned. For each program fragment in one language, there is an
analogous fragment in the others. The book can be read "vertically"
so that the programming languages Pascal, Algol 68, PL/1 and Ada
are encountered in that order several times. A "horizontal" reading
of the book would consist in selecting only those sections which
only concern one language."
