|
---|
| 1362 | Eiffel is an object-oriented programming language which emphasizes the
|
---|
| 1363 | production of robust software. Its syntax is keyword-oriented in the
|
---|
| 1364 | ALGOL and Pascal tradition. Eiffel is strongly statically typed, with
|
---|
| 1365 | automatic memory management (typically implemented by garbage
|
---|
| 1366 | collection). Distinguishing characteristics of Eiffel include Design by
|
---|
| 1367 | contract (DbC), liberal use of inheritance including multiple
|
---|
| 1368 | inheritance, a type system handling both value and reference semantics,
|
---|
| 1369 | and generic classes. Eiffel has a unified type system—all types in
|
---|
| 1370 | Eiffel are classes, so it is possible to create subclasses of the basic
|
---|
| 1371 | classes such as INTEGER. Eiffel has operator overloading, including the

| 2136 | several post-profiling tools for turning data into information.
|

|
