The object of this reaearch is to define and implement
an experimental language, Tutorial Programming Language
(TPL). Basic language concepts and definitions are introduced
initially to provide the background for defining TPL, which
is intended as a means to illustrate language concepts, and
has Type-3 grammar as a data type. A formal definition of
TPL is given in the form of an SLR(1) grammar. TPL is implemented by a syntax directed compiler and a
hypothetical machine for which the compiler provides code.
The machine is emulated by a Pascal program, making TPL
highly portable. It is also possible for the interested
user to enhance the power of TPL by writing more functions
for practical purposes.
