Creating a Program

WHILE Programs can be expressed in two notations (concrete syntaxes):

  1. Textual syntax (AKA Abstract, because in the textbooks, only the tree-based syntax is referred to as concrete). In WIDE, programs in textual syntax are *.while files.
  2. Tree-based syntax (AKA Concrete) - *.wcl files ("while concrete list").

For more information on syntax see the respective help items.
