  • Type systems of object-oriented programming languages

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David W.
    Abstract:
    Three different approaches to type checking have been taken in object-oriented programming languages. Smalltalk-80 uses run-time type checking. C++ uses subtypes. A third alternative is to use parameterized types. We examine the difficulties of programming in an object-oriented fashion with compile-time type checking and argue that parameterized types are better...

  • Smalltalk and exploratory programming

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David W.
    Abstract:
    Using Smalltalk-80, programmers can produce prototypes much faster than with C or Pascal. What techniques do Smalltalk-80 programmers use to produce these prototypes? What is special about Smalltalk-80 that enables them to uses these techniques? Can these techniques be used with conventional languages such as C? In an attempt to...

  • Experience with an object-oriented virtual machine

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David W.
    Abstract:
    Several years ago we began development of an object-based programming language and environment which we call X2. We implemented X2 using a virtual machine similar to Smalltalk-80 implementations, but X2 does no message look-up. The implementation differs from most Smalltalk-80 systems in that objects are paged and in the ability...

  • What is object-oriented programming?

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David W.
    Abstract:
    The term object-oriented is defined. This definition is then related to message-passing, inheritance, polymorphism, data abstraction, generics, and overloading.

  • An alternative to subclassing

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David W.
    Abstract:
    Smalltalk-80 obtains some of its expressive power from arranging classes in a hierarchy. Inheritance is an important aspect of this hierarchy. An alternative organization of classes is proposed that emphasizes description instead of inheritance. This alternative can be used with compile-time type checking and retains the important characteristics of Smalltalk's...

  • Type checking and parameterized types

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David W.
    Abstract:
    A method for implementing parameterized types is given. Two simplifying restrictions are assumed: types are only parameterized with other types, and assignment is like that of SNOBOL, CLU, and Smalltalk. An algorithm for type checking that handles parameterized types and overloading is presented .

  • Predicting height for undamaged and damaged trees in southwest Oregon

    Creator:
    Hanus, Mark L., Hann, David W., and Marshall, David D.
    Abstract:
    Equations for predicting tree height as a function of diameter outside bark at breast height are presented for various tree species common to southwest Oregon. Data for damaged and undamaged trees were analyzed with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. The effects of specific damaging agents and their severity on the height-diameter...
