Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 3, Problem 19RQ
Explanation of Solution
Two necessary things for a language entity to make denotational description:
For constructing a denotational semantics description in any language requires one to must define two things, namely,
- A mathematical object, as they are uniquely defined so that they model the exact meaning of their respective entities.
- A function that can be used to map with mathematical object, mapping is done with the instances of language entity onto instances of mathematical object...
