Abstract
The effect of using an abstract data type is to postpone writing the code for the implementation of the abstract data type until the coding phase of the software life cycle. At this point the abstract data type is implemented in one of two ways: (1) manually by the programmer or (2) automatically by a code generator. Previous authors have demonstrated the feasibility of the automated implementation of abstract data type definitions from specification and design languages. They have developed a synthesis system that automatically generates the implementation of an abstract data type in an existing high-level language. Code generation releases the programmer from some of the implementation responsibility and concern. Others found that the source instructions, in the specification language, for an average program developed with automated implementation of abstract data types, is about 80 percent shorter than the source code required for manually implementing an abstract data type.
