Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 32RQ
Explanation of Solution
New design criterion in ALGOL 68:
Orthogonality was the primary design criterion for ALGOL 68.
- Orthogonally in a
programming language means combining a relatively small set of primitive constructs build large control and data structures of the language. - So, the important result of orthogonality in ALGOL was introduction of user defined data types.
- ALGOL 68 provided only very few primitive data types and structures...

- One characteristic of programming languages that varies widely from language to language is how parameters are passed. Among ALGOL, Pascal, Ada, C, C++, Java, and C#, no two languages pass parameters in exactly the same way. Among these languages, choose the one that you believe has adopted the best approach to parameter passing. Defend your decision by outlining the advantages of the approach of the language that you chose and the disadvantages of the approaches taken by other languages.arrow_forwardIn your own words, how are Haskell expressions different from instructions in imperative languages?arrow_forwardResearch the type systems of Standard ML, OCaml, Haskell, and F#.
