  • B-Prolog User's Manual
    B-Prolog User's Manual (Version 8.1) Prolog, Agent, and Constraint Programming Neng-Fa Zhou Afany Software & CUNY & Kyutech Copyright c Afany Software, 1994-2014. Last updated February 23, 2014 Preface Welcome to B-Prolog, a versatile and efficient constraint logic programming (CLP) system. B-Prolog is being brought to you by Afany Software. The birth of CLP is a milestone in the history of programming languages. CLP combines two declarative programming paradigms: logic programming and constraint solving. The declarative nature has proven appealing in numerous ap- plications, including computer-aided design and verification, databases, software engineering, optimization, configuration, graphical user interfaces, and language processing. It greatly enhances the productivity of software development and soft- ware maintainability. In addition, because of the availability of efficient constraint- solving, memory management, and compilation techniques, CLP programs can be more efficient than their counterparts that are written in procedural languages. B-Prolog is a Prolog system with extensions for programming concurrency, constraints, and interactive graphics. The system is based on a significantly refined WAM [1], called TOAM Jr. [19] (a successor of TOAM [16]), which facilitates software emulation. In addition to a TOAM emulator with a garbage collector that is written in C, the system consists of a compiler and an interpreter that are written in Prolog, and a library of built-in predicates that are written in C and in Prolog. B-Prolog does not only accept standard-form Prolog programs, but also accepts matching clauses, in which the determinacy and input/output unifications are explicitly denoted. Matching clauses are compiled into more compact and faster code than standard-form clauses.

  • Chapter 4 Programming in Perl
    Chapter 4 Programming in Perl 4.1 More on built-in functions in Perl There are many built-in functions in Perl, and even more are available as modules (see section 4.4) that can be downloaded from various Internet places. Some built-in functions have already been used in chapter 3.1 and some of these and some others will be described in more detail here. 4.1.1 split and join (+ qw, x operator, \here docs", .=) 1 #!/usr/bin/perl 2 3 $sequence = ">|SP:Q62671|RATTUS NORVEGICUS|"; 4 5 @parts = split '\|', $sequence; 6 for ( $i = 0; $i < @parts; $i++ ) { 7 print "Substring $i: $parts[$i]\n"; 8 } • split is used to split a string into an array of substrings. The program above will write out Substring 0: > Substring 1: SP:Q62671 Substring 2: RATTUS NORVEGICUS • The first argument of split specifies a regular expression, while the second is the string to be split. • The string is scanned for occurrences of the regexp which are taken to be the boundaries between the sub-strings. 57 58 CHAPTER 4. PROGRAMMING IN PERL • The parts of the string which are matched with the regexp are not included in the substrings. • Also empty substrings are extracted. Note, however that trailing empty strings are removed by default. • Note that the | character needs to be escaped in the example above, since it is a special character in a regexp. • split returns an array and since an array can be assigned to a list we can write: splitfasta.ply 1 #!/usr/bin/perl 2 3 $sequence=">|SP:Q62671|RATTUS NORVEGICUS|"; 4 5 ($marker, $code, $species) = split '\|', $sequence; 6 ($dummy, $acc) = split ':', $code; 7 print "This FastA sequence comes from the species $species\n"; 8 print "and has accession number $acc.\n"; splitfasta.ply • It is not uncommon that we want to write out long pieces of text using many print statements.

  • Name Synopsis Description
    Perl version 5.10.0 documentation - vmsish NAME vmsish - Perl pragma to control VMS-specific language features SYNOPSIS use vmsish; use vmsish 'status';# or '$?' use vmsish 'exit'; use vmsish 'time'; use vmsish 'hushed'; no vmsish 'hushed'; vmsish::hushed($hush); use vmsish; no vmsish 'time'; DESCRIPTION If no import list is supplied, all possible VMS-specific features areassumed. Currently, there are four VMS-specific features available:'status' (a.k.a '$?'), 'exit', 'time' and 'hushed'. If you're not running VMS, this module does nothing. vmsish status This makes $? and system return the native VMS exit statusinstead of emulating the POSIX exit status. vmsish exit This makes exit 1 produce a successful exit (with status SS$_NORMAL),instead of emulating UNIX exit(), which considers exit 1 to indicatean error. As with the CRTL's exit() function, exit 0 is also mappedto an exit status of SS$_NORMAL, and any other argument to exit() isused directly as Perl's exit status. vmsish time This makes all times relative to the local time zone, instead of thedefault of Universal Time (a.k.a Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT). vmsish hushed This suppresses printing of VMS status messages to SYS$OUTPUT andSYS$ERROR if Perl terminates with an error status. and allowsprograms that are expecting "unix-style" Perl to avoid having to parseVMS error messages. It does not suppress any messages from Perlitself, just the messages generated by DCL after Perl exits. The DCLsymbol $STATUS will still have the termination status, but with ahigh-order bit set: EXAMPLE:$ perl -e"exit 44;" Non-hushed error exit%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort DCL message$ show sym $STATUS$STATUS == "%X0000002C" $ perl -e"use vmsish qw(hushed); exit 44;" Hushed error exit $ show sym $STATUS $STATUS == "%X1000002C" The 'hushed' flag has a global scope during compilation: the exit() ordie() commands that are compiled after 'vmsish hushed' will be hushedwhen they are executed.

  • A Concurrent PASCAL Compiler for Minicomputers
    512 Appendix A DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UCSD'S PASCAL AND STANDARD PASCAL The PASCAL language used in this book contains most of the features described by K. Jensen and N. Wirth in PASCAL User Manual and Report, Springer Verlag, 1975. We refer to the PASCAL defined by Jensen and Wirth as "Standard" PASCAL, because of its widespread acceptance even though no international standard for the language has yet been established. The PASCAL used in this book has been implemented at University of California San Diego (UCSD) in a complete software system for use on a variety of small stand-alone microcomputers. This will be referred to as "UCSD PASCAL", which differs from the standard by a small number of omissions, a very small number of alterations, and several extensions. This appendix provides a very brief summary Of these differences. Only the PASCAL constructs used within this book will be mentioned herein. Documents are available from the author's group at UCSD describing UCSD PASCAL in detail. 1. CASE Statements Jensen & Wirth state that if there is no label equal to the value of the case statement selector, then the result of the case statement is undefined. UCSD PASCAL treats this situation by leaving the case statement normally with no action being taken. 2. Comments In UCSD PASCAL, a comment appears between the delimiting symbols "(*" and "*)". If the opening delimiter is followed immediately by a dollar sign, as in "(*$", then the remainder of the comment is treated as a directive to the compiler. The only compiler directive mentioned in this book is (*$G+*), which tells the compiler to allow the use of GOTO statements.

  • 1. Introduction to Structured Programming 2. Functions
    UNIT -3Syllabus: Introduction to structured programming, Functions – basics, user defined functions, inter functions communication, Standard functions, Storage classes- auto, register, static, extern,scope rules, arrays to functions, recursive functions, example C programs. String – Basic concepts, String Input / Output functions, arrays of strings, string handling functions, strings to functions, C programming examples. 1. Introduction to structured programming Software engineering is a discipline that is concerned with the construction of robust and reliable computer programs. Just as civil engineers use tried and tested methods for the construction of buildings, software engineers use accepted methods for analyzing a problem to be solved, a blueprint or plan for the design of the solution and a construction method that minimizes the risk of error. The structured programming approach to program design was based on the following method. i. To solve a large problem, break the problem into several pieces and work on each piece separately. ii. To solve each piece, treat it as a new problem that can itself be broken down into smaller problems; iii. Repeat the process with each new piece until each can be solved directly, without further decomposition. 2. Functions - Basics In programming, a function is a segment that groups code to perform a specific task. A C program has at least one function main().Without main() function, there is technically no C program. Types of C functions There are two types of functions in C programming: 1. Library functions 2. User defined functions 1 Library functions Library functions are the in-built function in C programming system. For example: main() - The execution of every C program starts form this main() function.

  • Eloquent Javascript © 2011 by Marijn Haverbeke Here, Square Is the Name of the Function
    2 FUNCTIONS We have already used several functions in the previous chapter—things such as alert and print—to order the machine to perform a specific operation. In this chap- ter, we will start creating our own functions, making it possible to extend the vocabulary that we have avail- able. In a way, this resembles defining our own words inside a story we are writing to increase our expressive- ness. Although such a thing is considered rather bad style in prose, in programming it is indispensable. The Anatomy of a Function Definition In its most basic form, a function definition looks like this: function square(x) { return x * x; } square(12); ! 144 Eloquent JavaScript © 2011 by Marijn Haverbeke Here, square is the name of the function. x is the name of its (first and only) argument. return x * x; is the body of the function. The keyword function is always used when creating a new function. When it is followed by a variable name, the new function will be stored under this name. After the name comes a list of argument names and finally the body of the function. Unlike those around the body of while loops or if state- ments, the braces around a function body are obligatory. The keyword return, followed by an expression, is used to determine the value the function returns. When control comes across a return statement, it immediately jumps out of the current function and gives the returned value to the code that called the function. A return statement without an expres- sion after it will cause the function to return undefined.

  • Control Flow, Functions
    UNIT III CONTROL FLOW, FUNCTIONS 9 Conditionals: Boolean values and operators, conditional (if), alternative (if-else), chained conditional (if-elif-else); Iteration: state, while, for, break, continue, pass; Fruitful functions: return values, parameters, local and global scope, function composition, recursion; Strings: string slices, immutability, string functions and methods, string module; Lists as arrays. Illustrative programs: square root, gcd, exponentiation, sum an array of numbers, linear search, binary search. UNIT 3 Conditionals: Boolean values: Boolean values are the two constant objects False and True. They are used to represent truth values (although other values can also be considered false or true). In numeric contexts (for example when used as the argument to an arithmetic operator), they behave like the integers 0 and 1, respectively. A string in Python can be tested for truth value. The return type will be in Boolean value (True or False) To see what the return value (True or False) will be, simply print it out. str="Hello World" print str.isalnum() #False #check if all char are numbers print str.isalpha() #False #check if all char in the string are alphabetic print str.isdigit() #False #test if string contains digits print str.istitle() #True #test if string contains title words print str.isupper() #False #test if string contains upper case print str.islower() #False #test if string contains lower case print str.isspace() #False #test if string contains spaces print str.endswith('d') #True #test if string endswith a d print str.startswith('H') #True #test if string startswith H The if statement Conditional statements give us this ability to check the conditions.

Shellcode is defined as a set of instructions injected and then executed by an exploited program. Shellcode is used to directly manipulate registers and the functionality of a exploited program. We can of course write shell codes in the high level language but would let you know later why they might not work for some cases, so assembly language is preferred for this. I would take an clean example of the exit() syscall used for exiting from a program. Many of you might be wondered to see why this being used is, the reason is the newer kernel don’t allow anymore the code execution from the stack so we have to use some C library wrapper or libc (responsible for providing us the malloc function). Usage at darker site: We write shellcode because we want the target program to function in a manner other than what was intended by the designer. One way to manipulate the program is to force it to make a system call or syscall. System calls in Linux are accomplished via software interrupts and are called with the int 0x80 instruction.
