Abstract

The paper exemplifies programming in a wide spectrum language by presenting styles which range from non-operative specifications-using abstract types and tools from predicate logic as well as set theory-over recursive functions, to procedural program with variables. Besides a number of basic types, we develop an interpreter for parts of the language itself, an algorithm for applying transformation rules to program representations, a text editor, and a simulation of Backus' functional programming language.
