Title | A Generic Computer Algebra Library in Oberon | Author(s) | Dominik Gruntz, Wolfgang Weck | Type | Technical Report, Misc | Abstract | It is discussed how generic computer algebra algorithms can be implemented in an existing general-purpose programming language as a well encapsulated library. We show the advantages of such an approach and explain the key issues of an existing implementation in Oberon. One of the most important design issues-the type hierarchy-is explained. The implementation relays on Oberon's type system being in the middle between full compile-time and run-time type checking. For those special cases which would require multiple inheritance or supertyping we propose to use a message passing mechanism. | Length | 12 |
