Chapter 1 Basic Principles of Programming Languages

1 Chapter 1 Basic Principles of Programming Languages Although there exist many Programming Languages , the differences among them are insignificant compared to the differences among natural Languages . In this Chapter , we discuss the common aspects shared among different Programming Languages . These aspects include: Programming paradigms that define how computation is expressed; the main features of Programming Languages and their impact on the performance of programs written in the Languages ; a brief review of the history and development of Programming Languages ; the lexical, syntactic, and semantic structures of Programming Languages , data and data types, program processing and preprocessing, and the life cycles of program development.

of basic principles, concepts, and methods for how a computation or algorithm is expressed. The major paradigms we will study in this text are imperative, object-oriented, functional, and logic paradigms. The imperative, also called the procedural, programming paradigm expresses computation by fully-
