A Simple Lambda-Calculus Model of Programming Languages (Classic Reprint) S. Kamal Abdali [New] [Softcover]

Product Description

Print on Demand. This book explores programming languages through the lens of lambda calculus, a foundational mathematical system for computation. The author argues that lambda calculus provides a simple yet powerful framework for understanding the structure and behavior of programming languages. The book covers a wide range of topics, including: - The representation of programs as lambda expressions - The interpretation of lambda expressions as functions - The use of lambda calculus to model programming language features such as variables, constants, expressions, assignments, and control structures - The application of lambda calculus to the problems of proving program equivalence and corr…
