basic English

This is a basic English lexicon for talking about things in programming.  It seems to get quite large as I think of more and more words to add to it, and I'm not sure if it's too big for the prototype to handle.  For the grammar we can modify the simple English grammar in PAIP.

function, program, procedure

number, integer, real

memory, variable, pointer, constant, value, content

data, structure, input, output

list, queue, tree, stack, node, link

loop, iteration

verbs:

add, subtract, multiply, divide

increase, decrease, increment, decrement

move, link, compare

big, small, long, short, deep, shallow, broad, narrow

please, okay, thanks, bye!
