Object-Oriented Programming in the Beta Programming Language

В этом материале разберём тему: programming.

This is first and foremost a book on the programming language BETA, but it is also a book on object-oriented programming, and issues such as objectoriented analysis and design are also covered.

It is also a matter of introducing a way of thinking that is associated with the underlying conceptual framework. Introducing a programming language is not just a matter of introducing language constructs and giving guidelines and hints on how to use them. For languages based on well established underlying concepts such as functions, relations or equations, the way of thinking may be obtained from other sources, and will often be part of the background and education of the prospective programmers. Furthermore, there is no established consensus on what object-orientation is. For object-oriented programming there is no well established theory or conceptual framework. Despite this, a large number of programmers practice object-oriented programming. These languages have a common core of language constructs which to some extent make them look alike. They use a number of different languages such as Simula (Dahl et al., 1968), Smalltalk (Goldberg and Robson, 1989), C++ (Stroustrup, 1991), Eiffel (Meyer, 1988), and CLOS (Keene, 1989).
