  7. Basic Activities of VPL There are 10 basic activities, and many composite services in VPL Repository • Variable: supports basic types (int, string, boolean, etc) and their arrays ( called list ) • Calculate: Calculate the value of an expression • Data: like the constant values in regular programming language

  8. Basic Activities (cont.) Activity Basic Activity • Construct a composite activity (flowchart) and can be wrapped as a service • Join: proceeds when all threads arrive; Can be used for creating parallel threads. • Merge: proceeds when one of the threads arrives. It can be used for creating a loop; • If: same as regular programming language construct; • Switch: same as regular programming language construct; • List: list of variables; • List of functions; Service Activity

  9. Services as Building Blocks Application Activity Basic Activity • Services are precompiled and deployed functions (activities) • Services can be placed locally or remotely over the internet. • For example: • Services that provide access to robots’ sensors • Simple dialog which accepts a string and shows it in a window • Math functions which can complete complex computations Service Activity

  10. A Glimpse of Applications ndServices

  11. Example 1: Hello World

  12. Hello World (cont.)

  13. Example 2: Increment a value in a loop in VPL The goal of this VPL program is to • Create a variable and initialize it to 1; • Increment the variable in a loop, and • Voice-output the value in each iteration using the Text-to-Speech service; • Stop when the value = 10.

  14. Define the Initial Value, Assign it to a Variable, and Choose the Type

  15. Increment a value in a loop (cont.)
