Q93 / 100

What is the Landin correspondence?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) Landin's J-operator and the SECD machine show that control operators (call/cc, setjmp) correspond to first-class continuations and can be expressed in enriched lambda calculi

B

Correct Answer

Landin's J-operator and the SECD machine show that control operators (call/cc, setjmp) correspond to first-class continuations and can be expressed in enriched lambda calculi

Explanation

Landin (1964): SECD machine gave operational semantics to Algol-like languages. His J-operator (predecessor to call/cc) enabled first-class jumps. Foundation for understanding how control operators fit into denotational semantics.
