Abstract

In conventional programming languages, the sequence of execution is specified by rules such as: (1) The statement "GO TO L" is followed by the statement labelled "L" (Branching rule). (2) The last statement in the range of an iteration is followed, under certain conditions, by the first statement in the range (Looping rule). (3) The last statement of a subroutine is followed by the statement immediately after its CALL (Out-of-line code rule). ... (Other rules) (n) In other cases, each statement is followed by the statement immediately after it (Order rule).
