This book is devoted to describing various systems of program syntax, analyzing the transition from a set of algorithms to program code. Considerable space is devoted to a discussion of the set of “elementary programs” used as design elements for programs of higher levels of complexity, optimizing the ratio of their “weight” and efficiency. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the problem of interaction between the computer as a physical object and the program code, which provides the information component of the calculation.
The book will be useful for everyone who has to deal with programming, including those in the humanities.
