EVERYDAY EXCEPTIONS

Sgml and Exceptions Sgml and Exceptions

The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) allows users to deene document type deenitions (DTDs), which are essentially extended context-free grammars in a notation that is similar to extended Backus{Naur form. The right-hand side of a production is called a content model and its semantics can be modiied by exceptions. We give precise deenitions of the semantics of exceptions and prove tha...

Parametrized Exceptions

Following the paradigm of encapsulation of side effects via monads, the Java execution mechanism has been described by the socalled Java monad, encorporating essentially stateful computation and exceptions, which are heavily used in Java control flow. A technical problem that appears in this model is the fact that the return exception in Java is parametrized by the return value, so that method ...

Exploiting exceptions

Most programmers use exceptions to handle exceptional events. However, exceptions can also be used to simplify the control logic of a program and enhance readability [1]. As we will demonstrate, there are situations where exceptions can be used as a standard programming pattern to make programs execute faster. These situations are opportunities to increase the speed of Java programs by changing...

Aesthetics of Everyday Life

Aesthetics of everyday life is one of the branches of aesthetic knowledge. Until the 20th century, classical aesthetics focused on the subject of visual arts and paid less attention to the formation of fine arts in the context of human and nature’s daily life experience.
