Aims. The aim of this course will be to introduce the structural, operational approach to programming language semantics. It will show how this formalism is used to specify the meaning of some simple programming language constructs and to reason formally about semantic properties of programs and of tools like program analyzers and compilers. 8.3. BNF Grammars for Programming Languages • We can define the syntax of a programming language use a BNF grammar. • Here is a BNF grammar for MOCCA corresponding to the syntax diagrams we saw in the previous lecture. • The start symbol is hprogrami. hprogrami ::= hblocki hblocki ::= { hcommand-listi } hcommand-listi ::= This chapter presents the syntax of a programming language, IMP, a small language of while programs. IMP is called an "imperative" language because program execution involves carrying out a series of explicit commands to change state. Formally, IMP's behaviour is described by rules which specify how its expressions are evaluated and its commands are executed. The rules provide an operational semantics of IMP in that they In this article, we are rationalize concerning the programming languages which are effective for the controlling the behavior of a machine (frequently Computer).Like natural languages,programming Of course, we don't really need to write such a program. We can do the same thing in Unix, simply by typing wc -c fileName When we run the program above, we can feed in any file we like. So, if wombat.txt contains a joke someone sent you or me.html contains your web page, then we can find out how many characters each contains: java CharCount wombat.txt Semantics of Programming Languages (IB CST) Cameron Ramsay (cfr26) 3 Functions Function application is left associative e 1 e 2 e 3 = (e 1 e 2)e 3 Type arrows are right associative T 1!T 2!T 3 = T 1!(T 2!T 3) fnextends as far right as parentheses permit Functions have the form fnx: T=>e Outside the fnbinding the name of the formal parameter does not matter. Within the fnbinding anything with programs -Can define the set of traces -Can represent program counter implicitly -Handle gotos •Natural operational semantics is an abstraction •Different semantics may be used to justify different behaviors •Thi
