Abstract

In this paper we present an operational semantics for the language TOOPLE, a statically-typed functional object-oriented programming language which has a number of desirable properties. The operational semantics, given in the form of a natural semantics, is significantly simpler than the previous denotational semantics for the language. A “subject reduction” theorem for the natural semantics provides a proof that the language is type-safe. We also show that the natural semantics is consistent with the denotational semantics of the language.
