Introduction to the Code Examples

This page gives access to code examples related to subjects covered in COP 4020 at UCF, as taught by Gary T. Leavens. It does not cover concepts, definitions, proofs, and examples of such that are not embodied in code.

Throughout this index, chapter numbers refer to the course textbook, Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming, by Peter Van Roy and Seif Haridi (MIT Press, 2004).

See also the Supplements Web Site for the textbook. On that web site you will find a link to source code for all the book's figures, several supplements to the Mozart system (including a set of basic system supplements to be put in your .ozrc file), and links to other Mozart source code.

The examples presented here are (generally) not found in the book (for those, see above), but originate with the course.

For a reference to Oz's syntax and semantics, see Appendix B and Appendix C of the textbook, and the on-line documentation for Mozart. In particular The Oz Notation defines the language and The Oz Base Environment defines the built-in procedures and functions available on various types of data. This documentation also ships with the Mozart installation, and so should be accessible directly from your computer if you have Mozart installed.

Another source of information on Oz's semantics is the Reducer, which embodies the operational semantics of the declarative model as explained in chapter 2. It also has several examples of Oz code, some of which are fairly large examples of following the grammar (as in chapter 3).
