SPEAKEASY-3 reference manual. Level lambda: IBM OS/VS version
- comp.
Speakeasy is a computer language designed to provide access to information stored in a computer. Ease of use, natural notation, and built-in capabilities for growth are important features of Speakeasy. The language is based on the concepts of arrays and matrices, and processes these as entities; thus, the need for many of the loops necessary in other programing languages is eliminated. It has a large vocabulary (over 500 words) of functions and commands in the areas of array manipulation, matrix algebra including eigenanalysis, special mathematical functions, numerical integration and differentiation, statistics, graphics, and character processing. It can be used either in batch mode or interactively. This book is the primary reference manual for the Speakeasy language and presents a nearly complete description of its capabilities. The chapters deal with the use of Speakeasy as a ''super desk calculator'', the construction and editing of Speakeasy programs, the ability to communicate with other programing languages, the construction of user-written additions to the language, and various other facets of Speakeasy. In addition, a complete listing of the Help Library, which contains brief descriptions of each of the Speakeasy functions or commands, is included. This edition applies to the Lambda (1976) release of Speakeasy-3, and describes the IBM OS/VS version.
