Abstract

In a recent workshop on the Design and Implementation of Programming Languages, Ledgard [4] asked language designers and researchers on data abstraction whether the encapsulated data type facility is actually used in practical programming. The authors have been using the concept of encapsulated data types in designing programs and in the teaching of a second course in programming. This paper provides an answer to Ledgard inquiry and the authors' conclusion that the use of data abstraction facilities has to be taught much like the concept of procedure. This paper may, therefore, be viewed as a tutorial on the application and teaching of data abstraction facilities in the construction of programs.
