An Overview of the Icon Programming Language ; Version 9
نویسنده
چکیده
Icon is a high-level programming language with extensive facilities for processing strings and structures. Icon has several novel features, including expressions that may produce sequences of results, goal-directed evaluation that automatically searches for a successful result, and string scanning that allows operations on strings to be formulated at a high conceptual level. Icon also provides high-level graphics facilities.

where values contains the strings to be written. (In Version 9 of Icon, this form of invocation can be used with records as well as lists; we’ll just refer to lists in what follows.) The main advantage of invocation with an Icon list is that it allows the number of arguments to be determined when the program is run. This is useful primarily for built-in functions like write() and DrawLine() tha...
متن کاملProgramming in Icon; Part I — Programming with Generators Programming in Icon; Part I — Programming with Generators
1. Introduction The Icon programming language [1] contains a number of features that are unusual and that are not found in most other programming languages. As a result, Icon encourages programming techniques that are distinctly different from those that are possible in more conventional programming languages. Not all of these techniques are obvious. Indeed, experience with other programming la...
متن کاملInformation for the Implementation of Version 8 of Icon
The Icon programming language [1] is fairly stable now, although refinements and new features are added occasionally [2]. The implementation of Icon, on the other hand, is still changing constantly. Besides changes made to support new features of the language, changes are made to correct errors, improve performance, increase portability, accommodate the requirements of new compilers and operati...
متن کاملConcurrent Processes for Icon*
Icon is well-known for its high-level approach to non-numeric programming. To increase the application domain of Icon to include communications and other real-time programming problems, concurrent processing capabilities have been added to an experimental version of Icon called Conicon. The concurrent processing language features added to Icon are natural extensions of the existing language. Th...
