This classic textbook by Eberhard Sturm is the only up-to-date PL/I book currently available in the English language which shows the range of the new PL/I on the computer platforms OS/2, Windows, AIX and z/OS – the basis being the new PL/I compiler from IBM. The language was extended by the package concept, abstract data types, attributes to communicate with C programs and more than a hundred BUILTIN functions. The book provides the basis for certification as an “IBM Certified PL/I Programmer/Developer”. Suitable for self-study, it introduces all areas of the language. It is a useful source of ideas and information for those programmers who already have a certain level of experience as well as those who only want to discover the variety of new language features.
A guide to the use of PL/1 which combines many of the features of other programming languages into a single language of more general utility.
This text is designed for users of either PL/I or PL/C. Programming language one (PL/I) is a general-purpose computer language for programmers at all levels for all types of tasks, and PL/C is the student-oriented version. PL/C offers fast compilation times and exceptional diagnostic assistance to programmers in a learning environment. The bulk of the text applies to both PL/I and PL/C. Both are machine-independent, so this text enables readers to write programs for most computer systems. No specific background is required, the exercises have been used in formal programming courses, and the material need not be studied in the order presented (with minor exceptions).
History of Programming Languages presents information pertinent to the technical aspects of the language design and creation. This book provides an understanding of the processes of language design as related to the environment in which languages are developed and the knowledge base available to the originators. Organized into 14 sections encompassing 77 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the programming techniques to use to help the system produce efficient programs. This text then discusses how to use parentheses to help the system identify identical subexpressions within an expression and thereby eliminate their duplicate calculation. Other chapters consider FORTRAN programming techniques needed to produce optimum object programs. This book discusses as well the developments leading to ALGOL 60. The final chapter presents the biography of Adin D. Falkoff. This book is a valuable resource for graduate students, practitioners, historians, statisticians, mathematicians, programmers, as well as computer scientists and specialists.
Monograph comprising fundamental information on the history and characteristics of approximately 120 programming languages for computer usage - covers technical aspects, language structure, etc. Bibliography at the end of each chapter.
