About this title

Synopsis

Many languages and data structures are of a recursive nature, repeating structures as sub-structures. Arithmetic expressions, virtually all programming languages, and various XML schema definitions are well-known examples. There are several difficulties in writing software operating on such data: For instance, due to stack usage issues it may not be appropriate to use recursive function calls. Furthermore, elaborate solutions are required for efficient memory representations and parsing.This book introduces a generic approach applicable to the processing of any kind of data with a recursive structure. The approach allows for a straight-forward implementation of manipulations of such data, including the use of recursive function expressions. At the same time both memory and runtime efficiency are guaranteed, thus supporting the processing of extremely large data instances. The technique relieves programmers from having to care about implementation details such as memory handling.The approach is illustrated by a practical implementation and its application in mathematical logic, namely for transformations of various well-known knowledge representation and reasoning tasks.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
