“`haskell

We explain how to run programs written in abstract syntax:
“`

| storage

(AbstractSyntax.hs) +—————-+
“`

## Representation of the storage

There are several ways to represent the storage:
1. As a list `m :: [(Identifier,Integer)]` describing a table associating integers to identifiers.
* In this case, to find the value of an identifier `i`, we use the [`lookup`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.10.0.0/docs/Prelude.html#v:lookup) function from the prelude:
“`hs
lookup i m
“`
* To update the storage `m` means to define a new *list* `m’` from the list `m`.
* Unused program variables are simply not listed in `m`.

2. Again as a table but using hashing, or a tree or other efficient data structures.

3. As a function `m :: Identifier -> Integer`, again associating integers to identifiers.
* In this case, to find the value of an identifier, we apply the function to the identifier.
“`hs
m i
“`
* To update the storage `m` means to define a new *function* `m’` from the function `m`.
* Unused program variables are given the value `undefined` or `error`.

**Here we adopt option 3:**
“`haskell
type Storage = Identifier -> Integer
“`
### Empty storage

At the beginning, no storage location is initialized:
“`haskell
emptyStorage :: Storage
emptyStorage i = error (“Uninitialized variable ” ++ i)
“`

### Updating the storage

To update a variable named `i` to the value `x` in `m :: Storage` means to produce a new `m’ :: Storage` with `m’ i = x` and `m’ j = m j` for `j` distinct from `i`:
“`haskell
update :: Identifier -> Integer -> Storage -> Storage
update i x m = m’
where
m’ :: Storage
m’ j | i == j = x
| otherwise = m j
“`

## Booleans are represented as integers

We convert between numbers and booleans, so we only have the type of integers in our little language, like in the programming language `C`:
“`haskell
number :: Bool -> Integer
number False = 0
number True = 1

boolean :: Integer -> Bool
boolean 0 = False
boolean _ = True
“`

**Remark:**

Notice that the above two functions don’t form an isomorphism. We only have the equation `boolean(number b) = b` for all `b :: Bool`, or `boolean . number = id` where `id` is the identity function defined in the prelude, but not the other way round. Technically, one says that the above two functions exhibit the type `Bool` as a *retract* of the type `Integer`, with the function `boolean` the [retraction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(category_theory)) and the function `number` the [section](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(category_theory)). Then the type `Bool` is isomorphic to the set of [fixed points](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_point_(mathematics)) of the function `number . boolean`, namely `0` and `1`.

## Evaluating expressions

We aim to evaluate expressions relative to a given storage:

An expression is either
– a constant (an integer), or
– a variable, or
– an operator together with a list of sub-expressions.

To evaluate, relative to storage `m :: Storage`,
– a **constant** means simply to extract the integer from it.
– a **variable**, say, `”x”`, simply means to look up the value, via `m “x”`.
– an **operator** and its sub-expressions, means to apply a Haskell operation associated to the operator to the evaluated sub-expressions.
This is done in the following Haskell code, assuming that we evaluate operators through the auxiliary function `opEval` discussed below:

“`haskell
eval :: Storage -> Expr -> Integer
eval m (Constant x) = x
eval m (Var i) = m i
eval m (Op o es) = opEval o [eval m e | e <- es] ``` We look in detail at the last pattern, evaluating an operator `o` with sub-expressions `es` (a list of expressions, `[Expr]`). Given an `OpName` (defined in the module [AbstractSyntax](AbstractSyntax.md)) and the correct number of arguments (one or two here), we evaluate it: ```haskell opEval :: OpName -> [Integer] -> Integer
opEval Add [x, y] = x + y
opEval Sub [x, y] = x – y
op [x, y] = x * y
opEval Div [x, y] = x `div` y
opEval Mod [x, y] = x `mod` y
op [x, y] = number(x == y)
op [x, y] = number(x <= y) opEval Less [x, y] = number(x < y) op [x, y] = number(x >= y)
opEval Greater [x, y] = number(x > y)
opEval And [x, y] = number(boolean x && boolean y)
opEval Or [x, y] = number(boolean x || boolean y)
opEval Not [x] = number(not(boolean x))
opEval op xs = error (“Interpreter bug. ”
++ “Please contact the software maintainer. ”
++ “Tried to apply ” ++ show op
++ ” to ” ++ show xs)
“`

## Running programs

A video on this section can be found [here](https://bham.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=0647b342-d76a-4842-a1cc-ac85012e8c27)

When we run a program we start with an initial storage and, if the program terminates, we get a final storage:
“`haskell
run :: Program -> Storage -> Storage
“`
The assignment statement evaluates the expression `e` and stores it in the identifier `i` of the storage `m`:
“`haskell
run (i := e) m = update i (eval m e) m
“`
To run an if-else-statement, we evaluate the expression `e`, and if its boolean value is true, we run the `then` branch `p` and otherwise we run the `else` branch `q`, with the given storage `m`:
“`haskell
run (IfElse e p q) m
| boolean(eval m e) = run p m
| otherwise = run q m
“`
Similarly, to run an if-statement, we evaluate the expression `e`, and if its boolean value is true, we run the `then` branch with the given storage `m`, and otherwise we leave the given storage unchanged:
“`haskell
run (If e p) m
| boolean(eval m e) = run p m
| otherwise = m
“`
To run a while-statement, we evaluate the condition `e`. If it is false, we leave the given storage `m` unchanged. If it is true, we run `p` on the storage `m` to get a new storage `m’`, which we use to recursively run the while-statement, to get a storage `m”`, which is the result, if this recursion terminates (it need not to):
“`haskell
run (While e p) m
| boolean(eval m e) = m”
| otherwise = m
where
m’ = run p m
m” = run (While e p) m’
“`
To run a block consisting of `n` program statements, starting from a storage `m_1`, we apply the first statement to get `m_2`, the second to get `m_3`, and so on, until we apply the last statement to get the final storage `m_n`. We express this recursively in the following definition, where the base case is when we have zero programs, in which no transformation to the storage takes place:
“`haskell
run (Block []) m = m

run (Block (p : ps)) m = m”
where
m’ = run p m
m” = run (Block ps) m’
“`

## An alternative approach to running programs

This approach shows that imperative programming is functional programming.

Now we define an alternative variant of the function `run :: Program -> Storage -> Storage`, using a different perspective.
Specifically, we think of a program as a **storage transformer**, i.e., a map `Storage -> Storage`.
Every program construction corresponds to a function that returns a storage transformer, i.e., that returns a function `Storage -> Storage`.

Firstly, the assignment statement is a storage transformer with two parameters `i` and `e`:
“`haskell
assign :: Identifier -> Expr -> Storage -> Storage
assign i e = m -> update i (eval m e) m
“`
Next, the if-else-statement takes three functions as arguments, and produces one function as the result. The first argument is a property `p` of the storage. The second and third arguments are two storage transformers, and the result is a storage transformer.
“`hs
ifElse :: (Storage -> Bool) -> (Storage -> Storage) -> (Storage -> Storage) -> (Storage -> Storage)
ifElse p f g = h
where
h m = if p m then f m else g m
“`
Although we use `Storage` for interpreting imperative programs, this function makes sense for any type `s`:
“`haskell
ifElse :: (s -> Bool) -> (s -> s) -> (s -> s) -> (s -> s)
ifElse p f g = h
where
h m = if p m then f m else g m
“`
Similarly, the functions below are defined with an arbitrary type `s` rather than the specific type `Storage`.

We don’t need to consider an if-statement, because `ifElse p f id` does the job, where `id` is the identity function, defined in the prelude.

Next, the while-statement takes a property `p` of states, and a storage transformer `f`. The result is a storage transformer `g` that repeatedly applies `f` to a given storage `m` until it fails to satisfy `p`:
“`haskell
while :: (s -> Bool) -> (s -> s) -> (s -> s)
while p f = g
where
g m = if p m then g(f m) else m
“`
The block-statement is simply the composition of finitely many functions: first apply the first function to the given storage, then the second function, etc., and finally the last function.
For example, `block [f,g,h] m = h(g(f m))`:
“`haskell
block :: [s -> s] -> s -> s
block [] m = m
block (f:fs) m = block fs (f m)
“`
Boolean expressions represent predicates of the storage:
“`haskell
booleanValue :: Expr -> (Storage -> Bool)
booleanValue e = m -> boolean(eval m e)
“`
Finally, with these definitions, the function `run` defined above is equivalent to the following:
“`haskell
run’ :: Program -> Storage -> Storage
run’ (i := e) = assign i e
run’ (IfElse e p q) = ifElse (booleanValue e) (run’ p) (run’ q)
run’ (If e p) = ifElse (booleanValue e) (run’ p) id
run’ (While e p) = while (booleanValue e) (run’ p)
run’ (Block ps) = block (map run’ ps)
“`
