Abstract
Prospero is a system designed to present the evaluation of functions written in a lazy functional language. Any system which displays the evaluation of a program written in any programming language must have
-
a way of dividing an evaluation into a number of stages,
-
a computational representation of a stage,
-
a set of transformation rules to move from stage to stage,
-
a way of displaying a stage to a user, and
-
a way for the user to move through the stages of the computation.
