Conversational Programming -- LCC. A User's Manual for a Language for Conversational Computing,
Abstract
The document is a user's guide to LCC, a Language for Conversational Computing which runs under TSS on an IBM 360/67. The statement syntax of LCC stems from that of Algol 60 and JOSS, but LCC has been designed to exploit as fully as possible the dynamic nature of conversational computing. Thus LCC is a fully interpretive system with extensive features for conversational control and with capabilities for (a) dynamic block structure, block expressions, and recursion, (b) interspersed editing and execution (use of program text as data and vice versa), (c) dynamic variable attributes, and (d) interlaced program execution and creation (program-directed program preparation). All of these LCC capabilities are described in detail, and a large number of programming examples are included to aid the user in understanding the various LCC features. (Author)
