Constraint-Logic Object-Oriented Programming with Free Arrays (2008.13460v1)
Published 31 Aug 2020 in cs.PL
Abstract: Constraint-logic object-oriented programming provides a useful symbiosis between object-oriented programming and constraint-logic search. The ability to use logic variables, constraints, non-deterministic search, and object-oriented programming in an integrated way facilitates the combination of search-related program parts and other business logic in object-oriented applications. With this work we conceptualize array-typed logic variables ("free arrays"), thus completing the set of types that logic variables can assume in constraint-logic object-oriented programming. Free arrays exhibit interesting properties, such as indeterminate lengths and non-deterministic accesses to array elements.
