Metaob ject Proto cols WhyWeWant Them and What Else They Can Do App ears in Object OrientedProgramming: The CLOS Perspective c Copyright 1993 MIT Press Gregor Kiczales, J. Michael Ashley, Luis Ro driguez, Amin Vahdat and Daniel G. Bobrow Original ly conceivedasaneat idea that could help solve problems in the design and implementation of CLOS, the metaobject protocol framework now appears to have applicability to a wide range of problems that come up in high-level languages. This chapter sketches this wider potential, by drawing an analogy to ordinary language design, by presenting some early design principles, and by presenting an overview of three new metaobject protcols we have designed that, respectively, control the semantics of Scheme, the compilation of Scheme, and the static paral lelization of Scheme programs. Intro duction The CLOS Metaob ject Proto col MOP was motivated by the tension b etween, what at the time, seemed liketwo con icting desires. The rst was to have a relatively small but p owerful language for doing ob ject-oriented programming in Lisp. The second was to satisfy what seemed to b e a large numb er of user demands, including: compatibility with previous languages, p erformance compara- ble to or b etter than previous implementations and extensibility to allow further exp erimentation with ob ject-oriented concepts see Chapter 2 for examples of directions in which ob ject-oriented techniques might b e pushed. -

Chapter 2 Basics of Scanning And
Chapter 2 Basics of Scanning and Conventional Programming in Java In this chapter, we will introduce you to an initial set of Java features, the equivalent of which you should have seen in your CS-1 class; the separation of problem, representation, algorithm and program – four concepts you have probably seen in your CS-1 class; style rules with which you are probably familiar, and scanning - a general class of problems we see in both computer science and other fields. Each chapter is associated with an animating recorded PowerPoint presentation and a YouTube video created from the presentation. It is meant to be a transcript of the associated presentation that contains little graphics and thus can be read even on a small device. You should refer to the associated material if you feel the need for a different instruction medium. Also associated with each chapter is hyperlinked code examples presented here. References to previously presented code modules are links that can be traversed to remind you of the details. The resources for this chapter are: PowerPoint Presentation YouTube Video Code Examples Algorithms and Representation Four concepts we explicitly or implicitly encounter while programming are problems, representations, algorithms and programs. Programs, of course, are instructions executed by the computer. Problems are what we try to solve when we write programs. Usually we do not go directly from problems to programs. Two intermediate steps are creating algorithms and identifying representations. Algorithms are sequences of steps to solve problems. So are programs. Thus, all programs are algorithms but the reverse is not true. -

Abstract Data Types
Chapter 2 Abstract Data Types The second idea at the core of computer science, along with algorithms, is data. In a modern computer, data consists fundamentally of binary bits, but meaningful data is organized into primitive data types such as integer, real, and boolean and into more complex data structures such as arrays and binary trees. These data types and data structures always come along with associated operations that can be done on the data. For example, the 32-bit int data type is defined both by the fact that a value of type int consists of 32 binary bits but also by the fact that two int values can be added, subtracted, multiplied, compared, and so on. An array is defined both by the fact that it is a sequence of data items of the same basic type, but also by the fact that it is possible to directly access each of the positions in the list based on its numerical index. So the idea of a data type includes a specification of the possible values of that type together with the operations that can be performed on those values. An algorithm is an abstract idea, and a program is an implementation of an algorithm. Similarly, it is useful to be able to work with the abstract idea behind a data type or data structure, without getting bogged down in the implementation details. The abstraction in this case is called an \abstract data type." An abstract data type specifies the values of the type, but not how those values are represented as collections of bits, and it specifies operations on those values in terms of their inputs, outputs, and effects rather than as particular algorithms or program code. -
5. Data Types
IEEE FOR THE FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION LANGUAGE e Std 1647-2011 5. Data types The e language has a number of predefined data types, including the integer and Boolean scalar types common to most programming languages. In addition, new scalar data types (enumerated types) that are appropriate for programming, modeling hardware, and interfacing with hardware simulators can be created. The e language also provides a powerful mechanism for defining OO hierarchical data structures (structs) and ordered collections of elements of the same type (lists). The following subclauses provide a basic explanation of e data types. 5.1 e data types Most e expressions have an explicit data type, as follows: — Scalar types — Scalar subtypes — Enumerated scalar types — Casting of enumerated types in comparisons — Struct types — Struct subtypes — Referencing fields in when constructs — List types — The set type — The string type — The real type — The external_pointer type — The “untyped” pseudo type Certain expressions, such as HDL objects, have no explicit data type. See 5.2 for information on how these expressions are handled. 5.1.1 Scalar types Scalar types in e are one of the following: numeric, Boolean, or enumerated. Table 17 shows the predefined numeric and Boolean types. Both signed and unsigned integers can be of any size and, thus, of any range. See 5.1.2 for information on how to specify the size and range of a scalar field or variable explicitly. See also Clause 4. 5.1.2 Scalar subtypes A scalar subtype can be named and created by using a scalar modifier to specify the range or bit width of a scalar type. -
Lecture 2: Variables and Primitive Data Types
Lecture 2: Variables and Primitive Data Types MIT-AITI Kenya 2005 1 In this lecture, you will learn… • What a variable is – Types of variables – Naming of variables – Variable assignment • What a primitive data type is • Other data types (ex. String) MIT-Africa Internet Technology Initiative 2 ©2005 What is a Variable? • In basic algebra, variables are symbols that can represent values in formulas. • For example the variable x in the formula f(x)=x2+2 can represent any number value. • Similarly, variables in computer program are symbols for arbitrary data. MIT-Africa Internet Technology Initiative 3 ©2005 A Variable Analogy • Think of variables as an empty box that you can put values in. • We can label the box with a name like “Box X” and re-use it many times. • Can perform tasks on the box without caring about what’s inside: – “Move Box X to Shelf A” – “Put item Z in box” – “Open Box X” – “Remove contents from Box X” MIT-Africa Internet Technology Initiative 4 ©2005 Variables Types in Java • Variables in Java have a type. • The type defines what kinds of values a variable is allowed to store. • Think of a variable’s type as the size or shape of the empty box. • The variable x in f(x)=x2+2 is implicitly a number. • If x is a symbol representing the word “Fish”, the formula doesn’t make sense. MIT-Africa Internet Technology Initiative 5 ©2005 Java Types • Integer Types: – int: Most numbers you’ll deal with. – long: Big integers; science, finance, computing. – short: Small integers. -
POINTER (IN C/C++) What Is a Pointer?
POINTER (IN C/C++) What is a pointer? Variable in a program is something with a name, the value of which can vary. The way the compiler and linker handles this is that it assigns a specific block of memory within the computer to hold the value of that variable. • The left side is the value in memory. • The right side is the address of that memory Dereferencing: • int bar = *foo_ptr; • *foo_ptr = 42; // set foo to 42 which is also effect bar = 42 • To dereference ted, go to memory address of 1776, the value contain in that is 25 which is what we need. Differences between & and * & is the reference operator and can be read as "address of“ * is the dereference operator and can be read as "value pointed by" A variable referenced with & can be dereferenced with *. • Andy = 25; • Ted = &andy; All expressions below are true: • andy == 25 // true • &andy == 1776 // true • ted == 1776 // true • *ted == 25 // true How to declare pointer? • Type + “*” + name of variable. • Example: int * number; • char * c; • • number or c is a variable is called a pointer variable How to use pointer? • int foo; • int *foo_ptr = &foo; • foo_ptr is declared as a pointer to int. We have initialized it to point to foo. • foo occupies some memory. Its location in memory is called its address. &foo is the address of foo Assignment and pointer: • int *foo_pr = 5; // wrong • int foo = 5; • int *foo_pr = &foo; // correct way Change the pointer to the next memory block: • int foo = 5; • int *foo_pr = &foo; • foo_pr ++; Pointer arithmetics • char *mychar; // sizeof 1 byte • short *myshort; // sizeof 2 bytes • long *mylong; // sizeof 4 byts • mychar++; // increase by 1 byte • myshort++; // increase by 2 bytes • mylong++; // increase by 4 bytes Increase pointer is different from increase the dereference • *P++; // unary operation: go to the address of the pointer then increase its address and return a value • (*P)++; // get the value from the address of p then increase the value by 1 Arrays: • int array[] = {45,46,47}; • we can call the first element in the array by saying: *array or array[0]. -
