Abstract

The paper discusses the usefulness of expression orientedness for procedural languages. Several constructs are proposed that enrich the semantics of expressions in expression-oriented languages. The aim is to extend the possibilities for explicit specification of properties and interrelations between program objects, thus conveying more meaning to the reader of a program. Finally, some concluding considerations are made, in the form of general rules for explicit and straightforward program coding.
