  1. Expressions Programming Language Design and Implementation (4th Edition) by T. Pratt and M. Zelkowitz Prentice Hall, 2001 Section 8.1-8.2

  2. Execution-time representation • Machine code sequence • Tree representation • Pre-fix or post-fix Expressions

  3. Tree structure rules • Slow  software interpreter • parse tree • Problem • Uniform evaluation rules • Eager evaluation ? Lazy evaluation (LISP, PROLOG) • Z+(Y==0 ? X : X/Y) • Side effect • a * fun(x) + a • Error conditions • Optimization, … • Short-circuit boolean expression • if((A==0) || (B/A)>C) {…} • while((I<=UB) && (V[I]>0)) {…} Expressions

  4. Postfix Infix notation: Operator appears between operands: 2 + 3  5 3 + 6  9 Implied precedence: 2 + 3 * 4  2 + (3 * 4 ), not (2 + 3 ) * 4 Prefix notation: Operator precedes operands: + 2 3  5 + 2 * 3 5  (+ 2 ( * 3 5 ) )  + 2 15  17 Postfix notation: Operator follows operands: 2 3 +  5 2 3 * 5 + (( 2 3 * 5 +)  6 5 +  11 Called Polish postfix since few could pronounce Polish mathematician Lukasiewicz, who invented it. An interesting, but unimportant mathematical curiosity when presented in 1920s. Only became important in 1950s when Burroughs rediscovered it for their ALGOL compiler. Expressions

  5. Evaluation of postfix 1. If argument is an operand, stack it. 2. If argument is an n-ary operator, then the n arguments are already onthe stack. Pop the n arguments from the stack and replace by the value of the operator applied to the arguments. Example: 2 3 4 + 5 * + 1. 2 - stack 2. 3 - stack 3. 4 - stack 4. + - replace 3 and 4 on stack by 7 5. 5 - stack 6. * - replace 5 and 7 on stack by 35 7. + - replace 35 and 2 on stack by 37 Expressions

  6. Importance of Postfix to Compilers Code generation same as expression evaluation. To generate code for 2 3 4 + 5 * +, do: 1. 2 - stack L-value of 2 2. 3 - stack L-value of 3 3. 4 - stack L-value of 4 4. + - generate code to take R-value of top stack element (L-value of 4) and add to R-value of next stack element (L-value of 3) and place L-value of result on stack 5. 5 - stack L-value of 5 6. * - generate code to take R-value of top stack element (L-value of 5) and multiply to R-value of next stack element (L-value of 7) and place L-value of result on stack 7. + - generate code to take R-value of top stack element (L-value of 35) and add to R-value of next stack element (L-value of 2) and place L-value of result (37) on stack Expressions

  7. Forth - A language based on postfix Postfix source language leads to an efficient execution model, even though generally interpreted. System runs on two stacks - a subroutine return stack and an expression evaluation stack. Run-time model very small making it useful on small embedded computers. Forth was developed by Charles Moore around 1970. The name was a contraction of “Fourth Generation Programming Language” with the program name limited to five characters. The language was a replacement for FORTRAN on small minicomputers in the 1970s where space was at a premium and the only input-output device was often a very slow and cumbersome paper tape. Having a resident translator/interpreter made for easy program development on the target system. Expressions

  8. Example Forth program Program to compute: 12+22+ ... +92+102$ [Notation: a,b,c is expression stack. c is stack(top)] : SQR DUP * ; (Defines square by: n  n,n (n*n)) : DOSUM SWAP 1 + SWAP OVER SQR + ; Execution: ( N,S  N+1,S+(N+1)2) ( N,S  S,N  S,(N+1) (N+1),S  (N+1),S, N+1) (N+1),S, N+1)2 (N+1),S+(N+1)2) 3 6 DOSUM . . 22 4 ok (Period (.) prints stack(top). Output is 22 = 42+6) 0 0 10 0 DO DOSUM LOOP . 385 ok (Apply DOSUM from 0 to 9 (Stop at 10)) }} Expressions

  9. Postscript Postscript is Forth with painting commands added. 1: %Same as Forth program 2: /Helvetica findfont 3: 20 scalefont 4: setfont 5: 200 400 moveto 6: /formatit {10 10 string cvrs show} def 7: /sqr {dup mul} def 8: /dosum {exch 1 add exch 1 index sqr add} def 9: 3 6 dosum 2 copy formatit ( ) show formatit 10: clear 11: 200 375 moveto 12: 0 0 0 1 9 {pop dosum} for formatit 13: showpage Expressions

  10. Postscript painting commands 14: % Lets draw a truck 15: /box {newpath 0 0 moveto 0 1 lineto 3 1 lineto 3 0 lineto 16: closepath} def 17: .1 setlinewidth 0 setgray 18: gsave 19: 72 72 scale 20: 2 5 translate box stroke 21: 3.2 0 translate .5 .5 scale box fill 22: 0 1 translate .6 .6 scale box fill 23: grestore 24: /tire {newpath 1 0 moveto 0 0 1 0 360 arc closepath} def 25: .5 setlinewidth 10 10 scale 26: 16 34 translate tire stroke 27: 3 0 translate tire stroke 28: 17 0 translate tire stroke 29: 3 0 translate tire stroke 30: 8 0 translate tire stroke 13: showpage Expressions

  11. Precedence of operators Assumed order of evaluation for arithmetic expressions: 2*3+4*5 assumed to be 26 since assumed ordering is (2*3)+(4*5). This is specified by precedence of operators. In any expression, the highest precedence operations are evaluated first, and so on. Most languages have an implied precedence. • APL and Smalltalk do not. Neither language emphasizes arithmetic data, so it is not clear what precedence means in this case. • C has 17 levels of precedence (given next) Expressions

  12. C precedence levels Precedence Operators Operator names 17 tokens, a[k], f()Literals, subscripting, function call .,-> Selection 16 ++, -- Postfix increment/decrement 15* ++, -- Prefix inc/dec , -, sizeof Unary operators, storage !,&,* Logical negation, indirection 14 typename Casts 13 *, /, % Multiplicative operators 12 +,- Additive operators 11 <<, >> Shift 10 <,>,<=, >= Relational 9 ==, != Equality 8 & Bitwise and 7  Bitwise xor 6 | Bitwise or 5 && Logical and 4 || Logical or 3 ?: Conditional 2 =, +=, -=, *=, Assignment /=, %=, <<=, >>=, &=, =, |= 1 , Sequential evaluation Expressions
