Contents:
1. Preliminaries -- 2. Evolution of the major programming languages -- 3. Describing syntax and semantics -- 4. Lexical and syntax analysis -- 5. Names, bindings, and scopes -- 6. Data types -- 7. Expressions and assignment statements -- 8. Statement-level control structures -- 9. Subprograms -- 10. Implementing subprograms -- 11. Abstract data types and encapsulation constructs -- 12. Support for object-oriented programming -- 13. Concurrency -- 14. Exception handling and event handling -- 15. Functional programming languages -- 16. Logic programming languages.
Summary: Concepts of Computer Programming Languages introduces students to the fundamental concepts of computer programming languages and provides them with the tools necessary to evaluate contemporary and future languages. An in-depth discussion of programming language structures, such as syntax and lexical and syntactic analysis, also prepares readers to study compiler design. The Eleventh Edition maintains an up-to-date discussion on the topic with the removal of outdated languages such as Ada and Fortran. The addition of relevant new topics and examples such as reflection and exception handling in Python and Ruby add to the currency of the text. Through a critical analysis of design issues of various program languages, Concepts of Computer Programming Languages teaches programmers the essential differences between computing with specific languages.
