Title: Some Ideas on Data Types in High-Level Languages.
Authors: Gries, David1, Gehani, Narain2, Wegbreit, B.
Source: Communications of the ACM. Jun77, Vol. 20 Issue 6, p414-420. 7p.
Subjects: Programming languages, Abstract data types (Computer science), Iterative methods (Mathematics), Algorithms, Data structures, Numerical analysis
Abstract: A number of issues are explored concerning the notion that a data type is a set of values together with a set of primitive operations on those values, Among these are the need for a notation for iterating over the elements of any finite set (instead of the more narrow for i = 1 to n notation), the use of the domain of an array as a data type, the need for a simple notation for allowing types of parameters to be themselves parameters (but in a restrictive fashion), and resulting problems with conversion of values from one type to another.
