Nevertheless, there is great local variation; Vermont does not look like Utah. Similarly, if we rise above the details of a few programming languages, we can discern features that are common to many languages. This is the programming language landscape; the main features include variables, types, control structures, and input\/output. Again, there is local variation; Pascal does not look like Basic. This work is a broad and comprehensive discussion of the principal features of the major programming languages. A Study of Concepts The text surveys the landscape of programming languages and its features. Each chapter concentrates on a single language concept. A simple model of the feature, expressed as a mini-language, is presented. This allows us to study an issue in depth and relative isolation. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of the way in which the concept is incorporated into some well-known languages. This permits a reasonably complete coverage of language issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51823710929184,"sku":"NEW0387964401","price":104.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51qry2B0sQL.jpg?v=1781201048","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-world-of-programming-languages-springer-books-on-professional-computing-0387964401","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
