Practical Applications of Good Math: Type Checking in Programming Languages. The lecture covered background on type systems in programming languages, what they are used for and how they might be tricky. (Since I see that there are still links pointing at this post, I'll point out here that this blog has moved to scienceblogs. Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages. Whilst these are similar to the algebraic data types found in languages like Haskell, they are also more powerful since Whiley employs a structural type system. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you must be aware that one of the things that I get interest in is *types*. P.S The early LtU archives may be helpful, since I used LtU to I was impressed how I was able to express in several lines of Jocaml code what takes many classes with intricate synchronization and type casting in Java. Types and Programming Languages. For me it all started when I took up TAPL (Types and Programming Languages) by Benjamin Pierce. We will use Dev C++ to create a program that will simply type out the message “My First C Program”. So the question, mostly directed at old timers, is to which resources would you send a friend asking for advice on learning about the theoretical study of programming languages? Types and Programming Languages, Benjamin C. Booleans; Church Numerals; Notes. The C programming language was invented in 1972 and has been a mainstay of computer science ever since. I would be willing to place a bet that most computer programmers have, on multiple occasions, expressed an opinion about the desirability of certain kinds of type systems in programming languages. The Church-Turing Thesis; An Answer to Hilbert's Entscheidungsproblem; Notes. Syntax and semantics of programming languages, grammars, design of programming languages, data types, variables, statements, procedures, recursion, parameter passing, dynamic and static memory management.
