For example, DASD space parameters may appear as xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx. Underscores either show a default value in a screen image, or represents the highlighting of a word in a screen image. Brackets [ ] mean that you can select one of the items enclosed by the brackets; none of the enclosed items is required. Braces { } mean that you must select one of the items enclosed by the braces. Vertical Bar | separates options. One vertical bar separates two options, two vertical bars separate three options, and so on. You must select one of the options.

  • Compiler Construction Assignment 3 – Spring 2018
    Compiler Construction Assignment 3 { Spring 2018 Robert van Engelen µc for the JVM µc (micro-C) is a small C-inspired programming language. In this assignment we will implement a compiler in C++ for µc. The compiler compiles µc programs to java class files for execution with the Java virtual machine. To implement the compiler, we can reuse the same concepts in the code-generation parts that were done in programming assignment 1 and reuse parts of the lexical analyzer you implemented in programming assignment 2. We will implement a new parser based on Yacc/Bison. This new parser utilizes translation schemes defined in Yacc grammars to emit Java bytecode. In the next programming assignment (the last assignment following this assignment) we will further extend the capabilities of our µc compiler by adding static semantics such as data types, apply type checking, and implement scoping rules for functions and blocks.

  • PDF Python 3
    Python for Everybody Exploring Data Using Python 3 Charles R. Severance 5.7. LOOP PATTERNS 61 In Python terms, the variable friends is a list1 of three strings and the for loop goes through the list and executes the body once for each of the three strings in the list resulting in this output: Happy New Year: Joseph Happy New Year: Glenn Happy New Year: Sally Done! Translating this for loop to English is not as direct as the while, but if you think of friends as a set, it goes like this: “Run the statements in the body of the for loop once for each friend in the set named friends.” Looking at the for loop, for and in are reserved Python keywords, and friend and friends are variables. for friend in friends: print('Happy New Year:', friend) In particular, friend is the iteration variable for the for loop. The variable friend changes for each iteration of the loop and controls when the for loop completes. The iteration variable steps successively through the three strings stored in the friends variable. 5.7 Loop patterns Often we use a for or while loop to go through a list of items or the contents of a file and we are looking for something such as the largest or smallest value of the data we scan through. These loops are generally constructed by: • Initializing one or more variables before the loop starts • Performing some computation on each item in the loop body, possibly chang- ing the variables in the body of the loop • Looking at the resulting variables when the loop completes We will use a list of numbers to demonstrate the concepts and construction of these loop patterns.

By this time you should have gained enough experience to be comfortable with these concepts and the mechanics of implementing them using Visual Basic. However, many problems require a repetition capability, in which the same calculation or sequence of instructions is repeated, over and over, using different sets of data. Examples of such repetition include continual checking of user data entries until an acceptable entry, such as a valid password, is made; counting and accumulating running totals; and recurring acceptance of input data and recalculation of output values that only stop upon entry of a designated value. This chapter explores the different methods that programmers use to construct repeating sections of code and how they can be implemented in Visual Basic. A repeated procedural section of code is commonly called a loop, because after the last statement in the code is executed, the program branches, or loops back to the first statement and starts another repetition.

We both knew Dijkstra |though each of us in different ways| and we both were aware that his influence on computer science was not limited to his pioneering software projects and research articles. He interacted with his colleagues by way of numerous discussions, extensive letter correspondence, and hundreds of so-called EWD reports that he used to send to a select group of researchers.

When solving a general problem, it is sometimes helpful to write a solution to a specific case. Once this is done, ask yourself: Were there any steps that I repeated? If so, which ones? Do I know how many times I will have to repeat the steps? If not, how did I know how long to keep repeating the steps? 3 / 1 Notes Counting Loops CSCE150A A counter-controlled loop (or counting loop) is a loop whose repetition is managed by a loop control variable whose value represents a count.

  • Graceful Language Extensions and Interfaces
    Graceful Language Extensions and Interfaces by Michael Homer A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2014 Abstract Grace is a programming language under development aimed at ed- ucation. Grace is object-oriented, imperative, and block-structured, and intended for use in first- and second-year object-oriented programming courses. We present a number of language features we have designed for Grace and implemented in our self-hosted compiler. We describe the design of a pattern-matching system with object-oriented structure and minimal extension to the language. We give a design for an object-based module system, which we use to build dialects, a means of extending and restricting the language available to the programmer, and of implementing domain-specific languages. We show a visual programming interface that melds visual editing (à la Scratch) with textual editing, and that uses our dialect system, and we give the results of a user experiment we performed to evaluate the usability of our interface. ii ii Acknowledgments The author wishes to acknowledge: • James Noble and David Pearce, his supervisors; • Andrew P. Black and Kim B.

    OpenMP for C or Fortran Summer Seminar ISC5939 .......... John Burkardt Department of Scientific Computing Florida State University http://people.sc.fsu.edu/∼jburkardt/presentations/. openmp 2012 fsu.pdf 31 July/02 August 2012 1 / 144 Shared Memory Programming with OpenMP 1 INTRODUCTION 2 Directives 3 Loops 4 Critical Regions and Reductions 5 Data Conflicts and Data Dependence 6 Environment Variables and Functions 7 Compiling, Linking, Running 8 Parallel Control Structures 9 Data Classification 10 Examples 11 Conclusion 2 / 144 INTRO: OLD LANGUAGES=>OpenMP=>New Hardware OpenMP is a bridge between yesterday's programming languages and tomorrow's multicore chips (4 cores when I first gave this talk, 48 cores now here at FSU!) 3 / 144 INTRO: Hardware Options OpenMP runs a user program on shared memory systems: a single core chip (older PC's, sequential execution) a multicore chip (such as your laptop?) multiple single core chips in a NUMA system multiple multicore chips in a NUMA system (SGI system) multiple multicore chips using other schemes (Intel's Cluster OpenMP) The computer lab DSL400B uses 2 core machines; the DSL152 lab has 8 core machines. OpenMP, which you can think of as running on one tightly-coupled chip, can also be combined with MPI, which runs on multiple, loosely-networked chips... but that's another talk! 4 / 144 INTRO: OpenMP Limitations OpenMP is limited by the shared memory hardware. An OpenMP program can only handle problems that fit on the chip or the coupled chips, over which memory can be shared. If an MPI program running on 5 chips needs more memory, it can easily be run on 100 chips, getting 20 times more memory.
