    SmallTalk

    Programming
    Language
    Modified by: Richelle Joy A. Reyes
    Introduction

    Smalltalk is a "pure" object-oriented programming
    language, meaning that, unlike C++ and Java, there
    is no difference between values which are objects
    and values which are primitive types.
    Smalltalk was the first
    graphical language tool
    to support live
    programming and
    advanced debugging
    techniques such as on-
    the-fly inspection and
    code changes during
    execution in a very user-
    friendly format.
    o Smalltalk introduced the
    world to the language virtual
    machine, on which Java and
    Ruby are based, as well.

    o Smalltalk was instrumental


    in developing the graphical
    user interface (GUI) and the
    “what you see is what you
    get” (WYSIWYG) user
    interface.
    Alan Kay
    Developers Alan Kay designed most of
    It was designed by Alan Kay, Adele
    the early Smalltalk versions
    Goldberg, Dan Ingalls, and others in
    the Learning Research Group at Xerox
    PARC.

    Dan Ingalis Adele Goldberg


    Dan Ingalls implemented Adele Goldberg wrote most of
    most of the early versions the documentation
    Year Developed

    It was designed in early 1970’s and initially


    came as Smalltalk-80 which was later
    known as Smalltalk.  The first hardware-
    environments which ran the Smalltalk VMs
    were Xerox Alto computers.
    The scope of
    language design.
    Communication between two people (or between one person and a computer)
    includes communication on two levels. Explicit communication includes
    the information that is transmitted in a given message. Implicit
    communication includes the relevant assumptions common to the two
    beings.
    SmallTalk Designed for:

    Educational Use Constructionist Learning


    It was designed and created in part for More so for constructionist learning,
    educational use. at the Learning Research Group
    (LRG) of Xerox PARC.
    The Pharo
    Programming
    Language

    Pharo is an open source, cross-


    platform implementation of the
    classic Smalltalk-80
    programming language and
    runtime.

    ● From Smalltalk came the first modern IDE
    (integrated development environment),
    which included a text editor, a system or
    class browser, an object or property
    inspector, and a debugger.

    ● It means that the IDE allows you to inspect


    objects and modify program code while it’s
    running! You can debug your code on the
    fly! In fact, you can spend all your time in
    the debugger while coding!
    "Smalltalk if statement"
    time > 120
    ifTrue: [Transcript show: 'Time expired.'; cr.
    time := 0]
    ifFalse: [Transcript show: 'Time remaining: ',
    (120 - time) printString, ' minutes'; cr]

    # Python if statement
    if time > 120:
    print 'Time expired.'
    time = 0

    Example source
    else:
    print 'Time remaining: ', 120 - time, '
    minutes'

    /* C language if statement */
    if (time > 120) {
    printf("Time expired.\n");
    codes
    time = 0;
    }
    else

    printf("Time remaining: %i minutes\n", 120 - SmallTalk, here’s and if statement in
    time);
