Abstract
The object of this reaearch is to define and implement an experimental language, Tutorial Programming Language (TPL). Basic language concepts and definitions are introduced initially to provide the background for defining TPL, which is intended as a means to illustrate language concepts, and has Type-3 grammar as a data type. A formal definition of TPL is given in the form of an SLR(1) grammar. TPL is implemented by a syntax directed compiler and a hypothetical machine for which the compiler provides code. The machine is emulated by a Pascal program, making TPL highly portable. It is also possible for the interested user to enhance the power of TPL by writing more functions for practical purposes.
