 ABSTRACT
THE AMBIT PROGRAMMING language has been applied to problems in two areas. In the area of algebraic symbol manipulation, programs have been written in AMBIT for elementary arithmetic, elementary algebra, formal differentiation, set operations, and propositional calculus. In the area of list processing, a variety of programs have been written for syntactic analysis, including both “top-down” and “bottom-up” analysis. This paper is intended to exhibit the important features of AMBIT without entering into a complete and formal definition of AMBIT. The paper contains a brief informal definition of the language and several examples of programs written in the language. The informal definition discusses primarily those facilities of the language which are used in the example programs; other facilities currently available in AMBIT are not mentioned. The definition depends on the example programs for the illustration and clarification of difficult points, and the reader is advised to defer a detailed examination of the definition until he has read through the example programs.
