Principles of Programming Languages : (JNTU) 9th Edition  (English, Paperback, Robert W Sebesta)

This book has been designed as per the course on Principles of Programming Languages offered to CSE and IT students of JNTU-Hyderabad and Anantapur. Now in its Ninth Edition, it introduces students to the main constructs of contemporary programming languages and provides the tools needed to critically evaluate existing and future programming languages. Readers gain a solid foundation for understanding the fundamental concepts of programming languages through the author's presentation of design issues for various language constructs, the examination of the design choices for these constructs in some of the most common languages, and critical comparison of the design alternatives. In addition, Sebesta strives to prepare the reader for the study of compiler design by providing an in-depth discussion of programming language structures, presenting a formal method of describing syntax, and introducing approaches to lexical and syntactic analysis.

• Strictly as per the syllabus

• 110 new review questions have been added along with 51 new programming exercises.
• 225 Multiple Choice Questions have been added
• Revised Coverage: Semantics coverage in Chapter 3 has been revised

• Two New Chapters (1) chapter 2 on Classification of programming languages and paradigms and (2) chapter 16 scripting languages have been added 
• Chapter 4 - Includes a complete, running lexical analyzer program with actual output as well as output for the example recursive descent parser.  Also included is a parse tree for the given input statement.
• Chapter 5 - New material on global scope and declaration order in the scoping section (Names, Bindings, and Scopes).
• Chapter 6 - New coverage of Lua’s table types, Python’s tuples and list comprehensions, and Ruby’s slices.
• Chapter 9 - New discussions of Lua’s variable number of method parameters and variable number of return values.
• Chapter 10 - Expanded discussion of Ruby’s abstract data types.
• Chapter 14 - New section on tail recursion in Scheme.
