Icon is a very high level general-purpose programming language with extensive features for processing strings (text) and data structures. Icon is an imperative, procedural language with a syntax that is reminiscent of C and Pascal, but with semantics at a much higher level. Icon has a novel expression-evaluation mechanism that integrates goal-directed evaluation and backtracking with conventional control structures. It has a string scanning facility for pattern matching that avoids the tedious details usually associated with analyzing strings. Icon's built-in data structures include sets and tables with associative lookup, lists that can be used as vectors or stacks and queues, and records.

The Icon Programming Language Click below to go directly to a specific section: History Significant Language Features Areas of Application Sample Programs ... Acknowledgements History Icon is a derivation of SNOBOL, a language originally designed by Bell Telephone Laboratories in the early 60s to promote development of string and structure intensive applications. Further implementations of Icon have been produced by The University of Arizona . The name Icon was chosen before the term "icon" became popular for GUI images in use today and does not stand for anything correlating to the language (apparently it is just a catchy name). The Latest Implementations of Icon and the Icon program library are 9.1 and 9.2, respectively. Version 9.3 of Icon and the next version of the Icon Library is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 1996. Platforms supported include UNIX, MS-DOS, MS-DOS 32-bit, VAX/VMS, Macintosh/MPW, and Acorn Archimedes, while versions for Microsoft Windows and NT are in beta testing. Icon can be implemented as an interpreted or compiled language. Interpreting Icon is useful for small programs, or when debugging. Compiling Icon will first translate to C code, which must then be recompiled as C. Significant Language Features Icon is a high-level, imperative, procedural language especially useful for processing strings and structures.

Griswold Icon is a very high-level, general-purpose programming language with a strong emphasis on processing strings of characters and complicated structures. It was developed at the University of Arizona under the support of the National Science Foundation as a byproduct of research on high-level facilities for nonnumeric computation. That description is accurate, but it doesn't really tell you what the language is like or why so many programmers love it. I'll explain these things and give some examples that convey the nature of the language. An important issue in designing Icon was making programming easy, quick, and, we hoped, fun. The success of this design philosophy is illustrated by the fact that Icon programs are typ ically one-tenth to one-third the size of equivalent C programs and can be written correspondingly faster. Programming tasks that require extensive manipulations of strings and structures are surprisingly common. Compilers, word processors, and databases are examples. Icon has been used for many things, including text formatting, natural-language processing, program generation, rapid prototyping, and AI. Because it's easy to program in Icon, programmers often use it for one-shot, throwaway applications. But this language is also popular for the most complex applications, including those of a speculative nature, where quick results and ease of modification are vital.

The Posix Interface for the Unicon Programming Language Shamim Mohamed This document may be reproduced and redistributed freely provided it is reproduced in its entirety. Introduction The Icon Programming Language[ ] provides a large set of platform-independent facilities for non-numerical processing, graphics etc. Icon runs on everything from Unix machines to Amigas and Macs. This strong point, its platform independence, is also a weak point: it could not offer access to the underlying system and so could not be used as a system administration and scripting language like Perl[ ]. This was a great disappointment to the author, who has had to write many Perl scripts over the years. While it is true that Perl substitutes for a congolmeration of sed awk and shell scripts, it does so with some of the worst language features from them. Icon, on the other hand, has always been a good clean language with lots of support for high-level control and data structures. If we could add the Unix system calls to the language, we would have the best of both worlds: a sensible and powerful VHLL as a Unix scripting language. Icon even has integrated support for X11 graphics! This document describes a set of functions that implement access to POSIX system calls offered by the host system; it is the definitive reference for the POSIX functions of Unicon. Several functions are only available on Unix systems; programs that need to run on the multitudinous varieties of Windows should not use them.

Please council it when you plan to rewrite the article entirely. - A programming language or computer language is a standardized communication technique for expressing instructions to a computer. It is a set of syntactic and semantic rules used to define computer programs. A language enables a programmer to precisely specify what data a computer will act upon, how these data will be stored/transmitted, and precisely what actions to take under various circumstances.

An Overview of the Icon Programming Language; Version 9 Ralph E. Griswold Department of Computer Science The University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona March 2, 1996 http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/docs/ipd266.html 1. Introduction Icon is a high-level programming language with extensive facilities for processing strings and structures. Icon has several novel features, including expressions that may produce sequences of results, goal-directed evaluation that automatically searches for a successful result, and string scanning that allows operations on strings to be formulated at a high conceptual level. Icon also provides high-level graphics facilities. Icon emphasizes high-level string processing and a design philosophy that allows ease of programming and short, concise programs. Storage allocation and garbage collection are automatic in Icon, and there are few restrictions on the sizes of objects. Strings, lists, and other structures are created during program execution and their size does not need to be known when a program is written. Values are converted to expected types automatically; for example, numeral strings read in as input can be used in numerical computations without explicit conversion. Icon has an expression-based syntax with reserved words; in appearance, Icon programs resemble those of Pascal and C. Although Icon has extensive facilities for processing strings and structures, it also has a full repertoire of computational facilities. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications. Some examples are:
