Synopsis

Excerpt from Polymorphic Type Inference and Semi-Unification

Most programming languages provide the notion of types as their most fundamental abstraction from the unstructured universe of basic computer structures. Ivhile some languages perform type checking checking for type consistent usage of program objects at run-time lisp, prolog, apl), others do it at compile-time (pascal, Ada, ML, Doing it at compile time has the advantage that type errors, a common form of errors, are detected before the program is run. This usually comes at the price of cumbersome explicit type, variable and other declarations. Recently languages such as ML [32] have been designed that try to combine the safety of compile-time type checking with the flexibility of declaration-less programming by inferring type information from the program rather than insisting on extensive declarations. Ml''s type discipline allows for definition and use of (parametric) polymorphic functions; that is, functions that operate uniformly on arguments that may range over a variety of_ types.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
