Packages} % ===================================================================== \beginscroll Packages provide the bulk of %-% \HDindex{package}{ugPackagesPage}{11.}{Packages} \Language{}'s algorithmic library, from numeric packages for computing special functions to symbolic facilities for %-% \HDindex{constructor!package}{ugPackagesPage}{11.}{Packages} differential equations, symbolic integration, and limits. %-% \HDindex{package!constructor}{ugPackagesPage}{11.}{Packages} In \downlink{``\ugIntProgTitle''}{ugIntProgPage} in Chapter \ugIntProgNumber\ignore{ugIntProg}, we developed several useful functions for drawing vector fields and complex functions. We now show you how you can add these functions to the \Language{} library to make them available for general use. The way we created the functions in \downlink{``\ugIntProgTitle''}{ugIntProgPage} in Chapter \ugIntProgNumber\ignore{ugIntProg} is typical of how you, as an advanced \Language{} user, may interact with \Language{}. You have an application. You go to your editor and create an input file defining some functions for the application. Then you run the file and try the functions. Once you get them all to work, you will often want to extend them, add new features, perhaps write additional functions. Eventually, when you have a useful set of functions for your application, you may want to add them to your local \Language{} library. To do this, you embed these function definitions in a package and add that package to the library. To introduce new packages, categories, and domains into the system, you need to use the \Language{} compiler to convert the constructors into executable machine code. An existing compiler in \Language{} is available on an ``as-is'' basis. A new, faster compiler will be available in version 2.0 of \Language{}. \beginImportant \noindent \label{pak-cdraw} {\tt 1.\ \ \ C\ \ \ \ \ \ ==>\ Complex\ DoubleFloat}\newline {\tt 2.\ \ \ S\ \ \ \ \ \ ==>\ Segment\ DoubleFloat}\newline {\tt 3.\ \ \ INT\ \ \ \ ==>\ Integer}\newline {\tt 4.\ \ \ DFLOAT\ ==>\ DoubleFloat}\newline {\tt 5.\ \ \ VIEW3D\ ==>\ ThreeDimensionalViewport}\newline {\tt 6.\ \ \ CURVE\ \ ==>\ List\ List\ Point\ DFLOAT}\newline {\tt 7.\ \ \ }\newline {\tt 8.\ \ \ )abbrev\ package\ DRAWCX\ DrawComplex}\newline {\tt 9.\ \ \ DrawComplex():\ Exports\ ==\ Implementation\ where}\newline {\tt 10.\ \ }\newline {\tt 11.\ \ \ \ Exports\ ==\ with}\newline {\tt 12.\ \ \ \ \ \ drawComplex:\ (C\ ->\ C,S,S,Boolean)\ ->\ VIEW3D}\newline {\tt 13.\ \ \ \ \ \ drawComplexVectorField:\ (C\ ->\ C,S,S)\ ->\ VIEW3D}\newline {\tt 14.\ \ \ \ \ \ setRealSteps:\ INT\ ->\ INT}\newline {\tt 15.\ \ \ \ \ \ setImagSteps:\ INT\ ->\ INT}\newline {\tt 16.\ \ \ \ \ \ setClipValue:\ DFLOAT->\ DFLOAT}\newline {\tt 17.\ \ }\newline {\tt 18.\ \ \ \ Implementation\ ==\ add}\newline {\tt 19.\ \ \ \ \ \ arrowScale\ :\ DFLOAT\ :=\ (0.2)::DFLOAT\ --relative\ size}\newline {\tt 20.\ \ \ \ \ \ arrowAngle\ :\ DFLOAT\ :=\ pi()-pi()/(20::DFLOAT)}\newline {\tt 21.\ \ \ \ \ \ realSteps\ \ :\ INT\ :=\ 11\ --\#\ real\ steps}\newline {\tt 22.\ \ \ \ \ \ imagSteps\ \ :\ INT\ :=\ 11\ --\#\ imaginary\ steps}\newline {\tt 23.\ \ \ \ \ \ clipValue\ \ :\ DFLOAT\ \ :=\ 10::DFLOAT\ --maximum\ vector\ length}\newline {\tt 24.\ \ }\newline {\tt 25.\ \ \ \ \ \ setRealSteps(n)\ ==\ realSteps\ :=\ n}\newline {\tt 26.\ \ \ \ \ \ setImagSteps(n)\ ==\ imagSteps\ :=\ n}\newline {\tt 27.\ \ \ \ \ \ setClipValue(c)\ ==\ clipValue\ :=\ c}\newline {\tt 28.\ \ }\newline {\tt 29.\ \ \ \ \ \ clipFun:\ DFLOAT\ ->\ DFLOAT\ --Clip\ large\ magnitudes.}\newline {\tt 30.\ \ \ \ \ \ clipFun(x)\ ==\ min(max(x,\ -clipValue),\ clipValue)}\newline {\tt 31.\ \ }\newline {\tt 32.\ \ \ \ \ \ makeArrow:\ (Point\ DFLOAT,Point\ DFLOAT,DFLOAT,DFLOAT)\ ->\ CURVE}\newline {\tt 33.\ \ \ \ \ \ makeArrow(p1,\ p2,\ len,\ arg)\ ==\ ...}\newline {\tt 34.\ \ }\newline {\tt 35.\ \ \ \ \ \ drawComplex(f,\ realRange,\ imagRange,\ arrows?)\ ==\ ...}\newline \caption{The DrawComplex package.}\label{fig-pak-cdraw} \endImportant \beginmenu \menudownlink{{11.1.

In practice, the definition extends over many lines so that this syntax is not practical. Also, the type of a package is expressed by the operator \axiom{with} \spadkey{with} followed by an explicit list of operations. A preferable way to write the definition of a package is with a \axiom{where} \spadkey{where} expression: \beginImportant The definition of a package usually has the form: \newline {\tt% {\it PackageForm} : Exports == Implementation where \newline \texht{\hspace*{.75pc}}{\tab{3}} {\it optional type declarations}\newline \texht{\hspace*{.75pc}}{\tab{3}} Exports == with \newline \texht{\hspace*{2.0pc}}{\tab{6}} {\it list of exported operations}\newline \texht{\hspace*{.75pc}}{\tab{3}} Implementation == add \newline \texht{\hspace*{2.0pc}}{\tab{6}} {\it list of function definitions for exported operations} } \endImportant The \axiomType{DrawComplex} package takes no parameters and exports five operations, each a separate item of a \spadgloss{pile}. Each operation is described as a \spadgloss{declaration}: a name, followed by a colon (\axiomSyntax{:}), followed by the type of the operation. All operations have types expressed as \spadglossSee{mappings}{mapping} with the syntax \centerline{{{\it}} \centerline{{source\quad{\tt ->}\quad target}} \centerline{{}}} %e ********************************************************************* \endscroll \autobuttons \end{page} % % \newcommand{\ugPackagesAbstractTitle}{Abstract Datatypes} \newcommand{\ugPackagesAbstractNumber}{11.3.} % % ===================================================================== \begin{page}{ugPackagesAbstractPage}{11.3. Abstract Datatypes} % ===================================================================== \beginscroll A constructor as defined in \Language{} is called an \spadgloss{abstract datatype} in the computer science literature. Abstract datatypes separate ``specification'' (what operations are provided) from ``implementation'' (how the operations are implemented). The {\tt Exports} (specification) part of a constructor is said to be ``public'' (it provides the user interface to the package) whereas the {\tt Implementation} part is ``private'' (information here is effectively hidden---programs cannot take advantage of it). The {\tt Exports} part specifies what operations the package provides to users. As an author of a package, you must ensure that the {\tt Implementation} part provides a function for each operation in the {\tt Exports} part.\footnote{The \spadtype{DrawComplex} package enhances the facility described in \downlink{``\ugIntProgCompFunsTitle''}{ugIntProgCompFunsPage} in Chapter \ugIntProgCompFunsNumber\ignore{ugIntProgCompFuns} by allowing a complex function to have arrows emanating from the surface to indicate the direction of the complex argument.} An important difference between interactive programming and the use of packages is in the handling of global variables such as \axiom{realSteps} and \axiom{imagSteps}. In interactive programming, you simply change the values of variables by \spadgloss{assignment}. With packages, such variables are local to the package---their values can only be set using functions exported by the package. In our example package, we provide two functions \fakeAxiomFun{setRealSteps} and \fakeAxiomFun{setImagSteps} for this purpose. Another local variable is \axiom{clipValue} which can be changed using the exported operation \fakeAxiomFun{setClipValue}. This value is referenced by the internal function \fakeAxiomFun{clipFun} that decides whether to use the computed value of the function at a point or, if the magnitude of that value is too large, the value assigned to \axiom{clipValue} (with the appropriate sign). \endscroll \autobuttons \end{page} % % \newcommand{\ugPackagesCapsulesTitle}{Capsules} \newcommand{\ugPackagesCapsulesNumber}{11.4.} % % ===================================================================== \begin{page}{ugPackagesCapsulesPage}{11.4. Capsules} % ===================================================================== \beginscroll % The part to the right of {\tt add} in the {\tt Implementation} \spadkey{add} part of the definition is called a \spadgloss{capsule}. The purpose of a capsule is: \indent{4} \beginitems \item[-] to define a function for each exported operation, and \item[-] to define a \spadgloss{local environment} for these functions to run. \enditems \indent{0} What is a local environment? First, what is an environment? %-% \HDindex{environment}{ugPackagesCapsulesPage}{11.4.}{Capsules} Think of the capsule as an input file that \Language{} reads from top to bottom. Think of the input file as having a \axiom{)clear all} at the top so that initially no variables or functions are defined. When this file is read, variables such as \axiom{realSteps} and \axiom{arrowSize} in \nonLibAxiomType{DrawComplex} are set to initial values. Also, all the functions defined in the capsule are compiled. These include those that are exported (like \axiom{drawComplex}), and those that are not (like \axiom{makeArrow}). At the end, you get a set of name-value pairs: variable names (like \axiom{realSteps} and \axiom{arrowSize}) are paired with assigned values, while operation names (like \axiom{drawComplex} and \axiom{makeArrow}) are paired with function values. This set of name-value pairs is called an \spadgloss{environment}. Actually, we call this environment the ``initial environment'' of a package: it is the environment that exists immediately after the package is first built. Afterwards, functions of this capsule can access or reset a variable in the environment. The environment is called {\it local} since any changes to the value of a variable in this environment can be seen {\it only} by these functions. Only the functions from the package can change the variables in the local environment. When two functions are called successively from a package, any changes caused by the first function called are seen by the second. Since the environment is local to the package, its names don't get mixed up with others in the system or your workspace. If you happen to have a variable called \axiom{realSteps} in your workspace, it does not affect what the \nonLibAxiomType{DrawComplex} functions do in any way. The functions in a package are compiled into machine code. Unlike function definitions in input files that may be compiled repeatedly as you use them with varying argument types, functions in packages have a unique type (generally parameterized by the argument parameters of a package) and a unique compilation residing on disk. The capsule itself is turned into a compiled function. This so-called {\it capsule function} is what builds the initial environment spoken of above. If the package has arguments (see below), then each call to the package constructor with a distinct pair of arguments builds a distinct package, each with its own local environment. \endscroll \autobuttons \end{page} % % \newcommand{\ugPackagesInputFilesTitle}{Input Files vs. Packages} \newcommand{\ugPackagesInputFilesNumber}{11.5.} % % ===================================================================== \begin{page}{ugPackagesInputFilesPage}{11.5. Input Files vs. Packages} % ===================================================================== \beginscroll % A good question at this point would be ``Is writing a package more difficult than writing an input file?'' The programs in input files are designed for flexibility and ease-of-use. \Language{} can usually work out all of your types as it reads your program and does the computations you request. Let's say that you define a one-argument function without giving its type. When you first apply the function to a value, this value is understood by \Language{} as identifying the type for the argument parameter. Most of the time \Language{} goes through the body of your function and figures out the target type that you have in mind. \Language{} sometimes fails to get it right. Then---and only then---do you need a declaration to tell \Language{} what type you want. Input files are usually written to be read by \Language{}---and by you. %-% \HDindex{file!input!vs. package}{ugPackagesInputFilesPage}{11.5.}{Input Files vs. Packages} Without suitable documentation and declarations, your input files %-% \HDindex{package!vs. input file}{ugPackagesInputFilesPage}{11.5.}{Input Files vs. Packages} are likely incomprehensible to a colleague---and to you some months later! Packages are designed for legibility, as well as run-time efficiency. There are few new concepts you need to learn to write packages. Rather, you just have to be explicit about types and type conversions. The types of all functions are pre-declared so that \Language{}---and the reader--- knows precisely what types of arguments can be passed to and from the functions (certainly you don't want a colleague to guess or to have to work this out from context!). The types of local variables are also declared. Type conversions are explicit, never automatic.\footnote{There is one exception to this rule: conversions from a subdomain to a domain are automatic. After all, the objects both have the domain as a common type.} In summary, packages are more tedious to write than input files. When writing input files, you can casually go ahead, giving some facts now, leaving others for later. Writing packages requires forethought, care and discipline. \endscroll \autobuttons \end{page} % % \newcommand{\ugPackagesPackagesTitle}{Compiling Packages} \newcommand{\ugPackagesPackagesNumber}{11.6.} % % ===================================================================== \begin{page}{ugPackagesPackagesPage}{11.6.

Parameters} % ===================================================================== \beginscroll % The power of packages becomes evident when packages have parameters. Usually these parameters are domains and the exported operations have types involving these parameters. In \downlink{``\ugTypesTitle''}{ugTypesPage} in Chapter \ugTypesNumber\ignore{ugTypes}, you learned that categories denote classes of domains. Although we cover this notion in detail in the next chapter, we now give you a sneak preview of its usefulness. In \downlink{``\ugUserBlocksTitle''}{ugUserBlocksPage} in Section \ugUserBlocksNumber\ignore{ugUserBlocks}, we defined functions \axiom{bubbleSort(m)} and \axiom{insertionSort(m)} to sort a list of integers. If you look at the code for these functions, you see that they may be used to sort {\it any} structure \axiom{m} with the right properties. Also, the functions can be used to sort lists of {\it any} elements---not just integers. Let us now recall the code for \axiom{bubbleSort}. \begin{verbatim} bubbleSort(m) == n := #m for i in 1..(n-1) repeat for j in n..(i+1) by -1 repeat if m.j < m.(j-1) then swap!(m,j,j-1) m \end{verbatim} What properties of ``lists of integers'' are assumed by the sorting algorithm? In the first line, the operation \spadfun{\#} computes the maximum index of the list. The first obvious property is that \axiom{m} must have a finite number of elements. In \Language{}, this is done by your telling \Language{} that \axiom{m} has the ``attribute'' \spadatt{finiteAggregate}. An \spadgloss{attribute} is a property that a domain either has or does not have. As we show later in \downlink{``\ugCategoriesAttributesTitle''}{ugCategoriesAttributesPage} in Section \ugCategoriesAttributesNumber\ignore{ugCategoriesAttributes}, programs can query domains as to the presence or absence of an attribute. The operation \spadfunX{swap} swaps elements of \axiom{m}. Using \Browse{}, you find that \spadfunX{swap} requires its elements to come from a domain of category \axiomType{IndexedAggregate} with attribute \spadatt{shallowlyMutable}. This attribute means that you can change the internal components of \axiom{m} without changing its external structure. Shallowly-mutable data structures include lists, streams, one- and two-dimensional arrays, vectors, and matrices. The category \axiomType{IndexedAggregate} designates the class of aggregates whose elements can be accessed by the notation \axiom{m.s} for suitable selectors \axiom{s}. The category \axiomType{IndexedAggregate} takes two arguments: \axiom{Index}, a domain of selectors for the aggregate, and \axiom{Entry}, a domain of entries for the aggregate. Since the sort functions access elements by integers, we must choose \axiom{Index = }\axiomType{Integer}. The most general class of domains for which \axiom{bubbleSort} and \axiom{insertionSort} are defined are those of category \spadtype{IndexedAggregate(Integer,Entry)} with the two attributes \spadatt{shallowlyMutable} and \spadatt{finiteAggregate}. Using \Browse{}, you can also discover that \Language{} has many kinds of domains with attribute \spadatt{shallowlyMutable}. Those of class \axiomType{IndexedAggregate(Integer,Entry)} include \axiomType{Bits}, \axiomType{FlexibleArray}, \axiomType{OneDimensionalArray}, \axiomType{List}, \axiomType{String}, and \axiomType{Vector}, and also \axiomType{HashTable} and \axiomType{EqTable} with integer keys. Although you may never want to sort all such structures, we nonetheless demonstrate \Language{}'s ability to do so. Another requirement is that \nonLibAxiomType{Entry} has an operation \axiomOp{<}. One way to get this operation is to assume that \nonLibAxiomType{Entry} has category \axiomType{OrderedSet}. By definition, will then export a \axiomOp{<} operation. A more general approach is to allow any comparison function \axiom{f} to be used for sorting. This function will be passed as an argument to the sorting functions. Our sorting package then takes two arguments: a domain \axiom{S} of objects of {\it any} type, and a domain \axiom{A}, an aggregate of type \axiomType{IndexedAggregate(Integer, S)} with the above two attributes. Here is its definition using what are close to the original definitions of \axiom{bubbleSort} and \axiom{insertionSort} for sorting lists of integers. The symbol \axiomSyntax{!} is added to the ends of the operation names. This uniform naming convention is used for \Language{} operation names that destructively change one or more of their arguments. \beginImportant \noindent {\tt 1.\ \ \ SortPackage(S,A)\ :\ Exports\ ==\ Implementation\ where}\newline {\tt 2.\ \ \ \ \ S:\ Object}\newline {\tt 3.\ \ \ \ \ A:\ IndexedAggregate(Integer,S)}\newline {\tt 4.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ with\ (finiteAggregate;\ shallowlyMutable)}\newline {\tt 5.\ \ \ }\newline {\tt 6.\ \ \ \ \ Exports\ ==\ with}\newline {\tt 7.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ bubbleSort!:\ (A,(S,S)\ ->\ Boolean)\ ->\ A}\newline {\tt 8.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ insertionSort!:\ (A,\ (S,S)\ ->\ Boolean)\ ->\ A}\newline {\tt 9.\ \ \ }\newline {\tt 10.\ \ \ \ Implementation\ ==\ add}\newline {\tt 11.\ \ \ \ \ \ bubbleSort!(m,f)\ ==}\newline {\tt 12.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ n\ :=\ \#m}\newline {\tt 13.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ for\ i\ in\ 1..(n-1)\ repeat}\newline {\tt 14.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ for\ j\ in\ n..(i+1)\ by\ -1\ repeat}\newline {\tt 15.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ if\ f(m.j,m.(j-1))\ then\ swap!(m,j,j-1)}\newline {\tt 16.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ m}\newline {\tt 17.\ \ \ \ \ \ insertionSort!(m,f)\ ==}\newline {\tt 18.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ for\ i\ in\ 2..\#m\ repeat}\newline {\tt 19.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ j\ :=\ i}\newline {\tt 20.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ while\ j\ >\ 1\ and\ f(m.j,m.(j-1))\ repeat}\newline {\tt 21.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ swap!(m,j,j-1)}\newline {\tt 22.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ j\ :=\ (j\ -\ 1)\ pretend\ PositiveInteger}\newline {\tt 23.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ m}\newline \endImportant \endscroll \autobuttons \end{page} % % \newcommand{\ugPackagesCondsTitle}{Conditionals} \newcommand{\ugPackagesCondsNumber}{11.8.} % % ===================================================================== \begin{page}{ugPackagesCondsPage}{11.8.

To implement a more efficient algorithm for lists, we need the operation \spadfun{setelt} which allows us to destructively change the \spadfun{first} and \spadfun{rest} of a list. Using \Browse{}, you find that these operations come from category \axiomType{UnaryRecursiveAggregate}. Several aggregate types are unary recursive aggregates including those of \axiomType{List} and \axiomType{AssociationList}. We provide two different implementations for \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!} and \fakeAxiomFun{insertionSort!}: one for list-like structures, another for array-like structures. \beginImportant \noindent {\tt 1.\ \ \ Implementation\ ==\ add}\newline {\tt 2.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...}\newline {\tt 3.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ if\ A\ has\ UnaryRecursiveAggregate(S)\ then}\newline {\tt 4.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ bubbleSort!(m,fn)\ ==}\newline {\tt 5.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ empty?\ m\ =>\ m}\newline {\tt 6.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ l\ :=\ m}\newline {\tt 7.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ while\ not\ empty?\ (r\ :=\ l.rest)\ repeat}\newline {\tt 8.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r\ :=\ bubbleSort!\ r}\newline {\tt 9.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ :=\ l.first}\newline {\tt 10.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ if\ fn(r.first,x)\ then}\newline {\tt 11.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ l.first\ :=\ r.first}\newline {\tt 12.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r.first\ :=\ x}\newline {\tt 13.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ l.rest\ :=\ r}\newline {\tt 14.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ l\ :=\ l.rest}\newline {\tt 15.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ m}\newline {\tt 16.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ insertionSort!(m,fn)\ ==}\newline {\tt 17.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...}\newline \endImportant The ordering of definitions is important.

How Packages Work} % ===================================================================== \beginscroll % Recall that packages as abstract datatypes are compiled independently and put into the library. The curious reader may ask: ``How is the interpreter able to find an operation such as \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!}? Also, how is a single compiled function such as \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!} able to sort data of different types?'' After the interpreter loads the package \nonLibAxiomType{SortPackage}, the four operations from the package become known to the interpreter. Each of these operations is expressed as a {\it modemap} in which the type %-% \HDindex{modemap}{ugPackagesHowPage}{11.10.}{How Packages Work} of the operation is written in terms of symbolic domains. \nullXtc{ See the modemaps for \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!}. }{ \spadpaste{)display op bubbleSort!} } \begin{verbatim} There are 2 exposed functions called bubbleSort! : [1] D1 -> D1 from SortPackage(D2,D1) if D2 has ORDSET and D2 has OBJECT and D1 has IndexedAggregate(Integer, D2) with finiteAggregate shallowlyMutable [2] (D1,((D3,D3) -> Boolean)) -> D1 from SortPackage(D3,D1) if D3 has OBJECT and D1 has IndexedAggregate(Integer,D3) with finiteAggregate shallowlyMutable \end{verbatim} What happens if you ask for \axiom{bubbleSort!([1,-5,3])}? There is a unique modemap for an operation named \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!} with one argument. Since \axiom{[1,-5,3]} is a list of integers, the symbolic domain \axiom{D1} is defined as \axiomType{List(Integer)}. For some operation to apply, it must satisfy the predicate for some \axiom{D2}. What \axiom{D2}? The third expression of the \axiom{and} requires {\tt D1 has IndexedAggregate(Integer, D2) with} two attributes. So the interpreter searches for an \axiomType{IndexedAggregate} among the ancestors of \axiomType{List (Integer)} (see \downlink{``\ugCategoriesHierTitle''}{ugCategoriesHierPage} in Section \ugCategoriesHierNumber\ignore{ugCategoriesHier}). It finds one: \axiomType{IndexedAggregate(Integer, Integer)}. The interpreter tries defining \axiom{D2} as \axiomType{Integer}. After substituting for \axiom{D1} and \axiom{D2}, the predicate evaluates to \axiom{true}. An applicable operation has been found! Now \Language{} builds the package \axiomType{SortPackage(List(Integer), Integer)}. According to its definition, this package exports the required operation: \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!}: \spadsig{List Integer}{List Integer}. The interpreter then asks the package for a function implementing this operation. The package gets all the functions it needs (for example, \axiomFun{rest} and \axiomFunX{swap}) from the appropriate domains and then it returns a \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!} to the interpreter together with the local environment for \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!}. The interpreter applies the function to the argument \axiom{[1,-5,3]}. The \fakeAxiomFun{bubbleSort!} function is executed in its local environment and produces the result. \endscroll \autobuttons \end{page} %
