- Lexico
Lexico is a
Spanish language object-orientededucational programming language based on the.NET Framework .Created to facilitate the programming education, specifically
object-oriented programming techniques, Lexico has been shown to be successful in introducing Spanish-speaking students to the design of algorithms and data structures. Lexico was created by Pretends and other researchers, who verified that it does indeed help students learn faster and keeps them motivated. They hypothesize that this is because students can experiment with algorithm design from the start of their journey in the programming world.Being an educational language, Lexico's structure is simple: simplicity was chosen before performance. It's sufficiently simple to allow a person to learn the basic concepts of logic, algorithms, data structures.
Object-oriented concepts have been simplified by the authors making students' introduction to OO paradigms easier.Lexico's blocks are delimited by "{ ... }" like C#, but conditional execution is done with the keyword "es?" ( [it] is [true] ?) and
iteration with the loop "mientras" (while). Lexico's two fundamental types are numbers and strings, but it also supports the full .NET Framework types and constructs. It is thus possible to write complete windowed application in Lexico with events and controls. The lexico freecompiler produces programs that can operate on any platform where the .NET Framework is installed.Here's an example of the
Fibonacci algorithm in a console application./*Fibonacci [http://factus.mat.uson.mx/papers/varios/articulo97.html source] */ tarea: { los objetos i, n, primero, segundo, tercero son cantidades muestre: "Entre el numero de terminos deseados: " entre: n copie 0 en i, primero copie 1 en segundo mientras i<n haga: { copie i + 1 en i muestre primero copie primero + segundo en tercero copie segundo en primero copie tercero en segundo } }Here's an object oriented example.
incluya "System.Windows.Forms" clase ventana derivada_de "System.Windows.Forms.Form" { publicos: mensajes: ventana copie "Este es el título de mi primera ventana" en ventana.text }
