Abstract
This paper explains the use of the functional programming language Miranda as a vehicle for describing the semantics of imperative programming languages. In particular we give a Miranda denotational description of a substantial subset of a Pascal-like language, describing a number of variants of the semantics, including parameter passing by value-result, dynamic binding of values to names and a simple semantics of jumps. We also give an executable operational semantics of our basic language, as well as a compiler for this language into a simple stack machine, which is itself modelled in Miranda.
