The Computer and the Program

Abstract

{The programmer is concerned with particular-programs (2.1.d). These are always contained in a program (2.1.a), which also contains the standard-prelude, i.e., a declaration-prelude which is always the same (see Chapter 10), possibly a library-prelude, i.e., a declaration-prelude which may depend upon the implementation, the exit, i.e., ; exit:, which enables the programmer to end the elaboration of a program anywhere by that of the jump exit, possibly a library-postlude, and the standard-postlude (10.6).}
