[PDF] Top 20 The theory of classification part 12: building the class hierarchy

... We can also define the notion of an abstract class. This is expressed by a pair of generators in which full type information is given in the type-generator, but some of the implementation information is left ... See full document

... Various attempts have therefore been made to disguise the existence of type parameters and the many substitution operations that must be performed on them. Perhaps the most careful and thorough of these treatments is ... See full document

... latter the capping is on an octahedral geometry. Using the 14n as a baseline, the other clusters series were derived. For example, Mn 2 (CO) 10 ; the code is M-2-1- 34. This corresponds to the series S = 14n+6 and k = ... See full document

... Smalltalk [7] is an interesting language to evaluate against these rules, since it is considered by some to be an untyped language. From a schema-based perspective (the first column in figure 1), everything is ... See full document

... Given a collection of words or multiword expressions which are semantically related, it is often important to know what these words have in common. All adults with normal language competence and world knowledge are adept ... See full document

... In the second group, which includes Smalltalk and Eiffel, self-reference is open to modification, even after the object template is defined. When such an object is extended, self-reference in the inherited methods is ... See full document

... Henceforth, we shall use "<:" to mean "is a subtype of". The notion of subtyping derives ultimately from subsets in set theory. In exactly the same way that: x : X ("x is of type X") can ... See full document

... Rather like scratch-building a model sailing ship out of matchsticks, all mathematical model-building approaches start from first principles. To help get off the ground, most make some basic assumptions ... See full document

... have class and type independently [7, 8], asserting that an inheritance hierarchy was merely a convenience for describing shared implementation, whereas a separate type hierarchy was necessary to ... See full document

... A different but related problem arises when recursively-typed methods are inherited and invoked in a subtype object. So far, we have not modelled the notion of inheritance in any detail, but let us invent a simple rule ... See full document

... Unit Tests vs. Acceptance Tests. Unit tests capture one piece of function- ality, and as such make it easier to identify bugs in that functionality. As far as possible try to have unit tests for each method that could ... See full document

... S. Yu. Marochkin’s monograph has some undeniable key points, which confirm consistency of the author’s position in comparison to other works on the same topic. First of all, the author technically differentiate the tools ... See full document

... It is clear that super must refer in some sense to the current object, somewhat like self, yet different from the point of view of method lookup. The operational explanation of super- method invocation is typically that ... See full document

... This is the fifth article in a regular series on object-oriented type theory, aimed specifically at non-theoreticians. The series has been investigating the notion of simple object types and subtyping from the ... See full document
