Talk:Operational semantics

Could someone provide an example of how operational semantics look like? From the articles it's difficult to tell apart what is the basic difference between operational, denotational and axiomatic semantics. The only intuitive explanation is provided by the Formal semantics of programming languages where it states that denotational is more like compiling the language into a math version, and operational is more like interpreting it.Diego (talk) 10:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was thinking this, too. I've had a go at an illustration of structural operational semantics. It's only an extract — I think a full example would take up to much space. Sam (talk) 13:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's very much what I was asking for. Not the theory for a whole program or language, just some snippets to understand how an OS 'feels', i.e. what form have the elements that compose one.Diego (talk) 15:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
