Icon has -several novel features, including expressions that may produce -sequences of results, goal-directed evaluation that automatically -searches for a successful result, and string scanning that allows -operations on strings to be formulated at a high conceptual -level. - - Icon emphasizes high-level string processing and a design phi- -losophy that allows ease of programming and short, concise pro- -grams. Storage allocation and garbage collection are automatic in -Icon, and there are few restrictions on the sizes of objects. -Strings, lists, and other structures are created during program -execution and their size does not need to be known when a program -is written. Values are converted to expected types automati- -cally; for example, numeral strings read in as input can be used -in numerical computations without explicit conversion. Icon has -an expression-based syntax with reserved words; in appearance, -Icon programs resemble those of Pascal and C. - |
