Open it Every powerful language has three such mechanisms:
primitive expressions and statements , which represent the simplest
building blocks that the language provides, means of combination , by which compound elements are built from simpler
ones, and means of abstraction , by which compound elements can be named and
manipulated as units.

written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
When we describe a language, we should pay particular attention to the means
that the language provides for combining simple ideas to form more complex
ideas. <span>Every powerful language has three such mechanisms:
primitive expressions and statements , which represent the simplest
building blocks that the language provides, means of combination , by which compound elements are built from simpler

manipulated as units.
In programming, we deal with two kinds of elements: functions and data. (Soon
we will discover that they are really not so distinct.) Informally, data is
