Spreadsheet-based template language prototype for tree data structure description and interpretation

Published: 22 June 2012 Publication History

Abstract

This article suggests a language prototype for tree data structure description in a spreadsheet environment. The need of such language is explained. The language syntax and specifics is discussed. An interpreter which generates a spreadsheet output according to the description written in the language prototype is presented. Example results are shown. The advantages and disadvantages are listed. Some conclusions are made. Important future work aspects are pointed.
