Creating a Program

While Programs can be expressed in two notations (concrete syntaxes):

1. String notation (AKA Abstract, because in the textbooks, only the list notation is referred to as concrete). In WIDE, programs in string notation are *.while files.
2. List notation (AKA Concrete) - *.wcl files ("while concrete list").

For more information on syntax see the respective help items.

You can create a new while-program - select: File >> New... a new dialog will appear :

- Choose the program-type you wish to create (String or List)
- Enter the new file's name
- After clicking 'OK' the file will be opened for editing.
