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 ones, and means of abstraction , by which compound elements can be named and manipulated as units.
