A Formal Description of a Subset of ALGOL. AIM-024
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
We describe Microalgol, a trivial subset of Algol, by means of an interpreter. The notions of abstract syntax and of 'state of the computation' permit a compact description of both syntax and semantics. We advocate an extension of this technique as a general
way of describing programming language.
