To complete this general approach, detailed descriptions of the main programming paradigms, namely imperative, object-oriented, functional and logic are given, analysed in depth and compared. This provides the basis for a critical understanding of most of the programming languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn historical viewpoint is also included, discussing the evolution of programming languages, and to provide a context for most of the constructs in use today. The book concludes with two chapters which introduce basic notions of syntax, semantics and computability, to provide a completely rounded picture of what constitutes a programming language.\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-04-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781848829138\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-84882-914-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 440\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382518440076,"sku":"9781848829138","price":44.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781848829138.jpg?v=1772026405","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781848829138","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
