Description
For courses in computer programming. Evaluating the Fundamentals of Computer Programming Languages Concepts of Computer Programming Languages introduces students to the fundamental concepts of computer programming languages and provides them with the tools necessary to evaluate contemporary and future languages. An in-depth discussion of programming language structures, such as syntax and lexical and syntactic analysis, also prepares readers to study compiler design. The Eleventh Edition maintains an up-to-date discussion on the topic with the removal of outdated languages such as Ada and Fortran. The addition of relevant new topics and examples such as reflection and exception handling in Python and Ruby add to the currency of the text. Through a critical analysis of design issues of various program languages, Concepts of Computer Programming Languages teaches programmers the essential differences between computing with specific languages.
Table of contents

Biographical note
Robert Sebesta is an Associate Professor Emeritus in the Computer Science Department at the University of Colorado–Colorado Springs. Professor Sebesta received a BS in applied mathematics from the University of Colorado in Boulder and MS and PhD degrees in computer science from Pennsylvania State University. He has taught computer science for more than 40 years. His professional interests are the design and evaluation of programming languages and Web programming.
Feature
Concepts of Computer Programming Languages uses the following features to facilitate learning: UPDATED! The most current information on contemporary computer programming languages REVISED! Much of the discussion on outdated languages Ada and Fortran have been removed, including: Chapter 6 description of Ada’s records, union types, and pointers. Chapter 8 discussion of Ada’s for statement. Chapter 10 example Main_2 has been rewritten from Ada to Javascript. Chapter 11 section on Ada’s abstract data types. Chapter 4 discusses the important topics of lexical and syntactical analysis and can stand alone from the rest of the book as its own source material. REVISED! Chapter 12 has been substantially revised with new sections and paragraphs, including an added a section on reflection with two complete program examples and a table of design choices of common languages that support object-oriented programming. Chapters 5-14 discuss in detail the design issues of contemporary programming languages, using specific examples to demonstrate each. Chapter 5 covers the many characteristics of variables. Chapter 6 explains different data types. Chapter 7 discusses expressions and assignment statements. Chapter 8 explains control statements. Chapters 9 and 10 cover subprograms and their implementations. Chapter 11 examines data abstraction facilities. Chapter 12 details language features that support object-oriented programming. Chapter 13 discusses concurrent program units. NEW! Chapter 14 has added a discussion of exception handling in Python and Ruby. Chapters 15 and 16 introduce and explain functional programming and logic
