This task is an exercise in [[callwp:Call-by-name#Call_by_name|call by name]].
 
'''Jensen's Device''' is a computer programming technique devised by Danish computer scientist [http[wp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jørn_Jensen|Jørn Jensen]] after studying the [[ALGOL 60]] Report.
 
The following program was proposed to illustrate the technique. It computes the 100th [http[wp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_number |harmonic number]]:
 
'''begin'''
Line 25:
'''end'''
 
The above exploits [[wp:Call-by-name#Call_by_name|call by name]] to produce the correct answer (5.187...). It depends on the assumption that an expression passed as an actual parameter to a procedure would be re-evaluated in the caller's context every time the corresponding formal parameter's value was required. If the last parameter to ''sum'' had been passed by value, and assuming the initial value of ''i'' were 1, the result would have been 100 × 1/1 = 100.
 
Moreover, the ''first'' parameter to ''sum'', representing the "bound" variable of the summation, must also be passed by name (or at least by reference), otherwise changes to it (made within ''sum'') would not be visible in the caller's context when computing each of the values to be added.
Moreover, the ''first'' parameter to ''sum'',

Algol W retained Algol 60's call by name but also offered additional parameter passing modes.
<br>This version uses call by name for the i parameter but uses a procedure parameter for the summed expression.

In E, the distinct mutable locations behind assignable variables can be reified as [http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/Slot Slot] objects. The E language allows a variable name (''noun'') to be bound to a particular slot, and the slot of an already-bound noun to be extracted, using the <tt>&</tt> operator.
 
(The definition of the outer <var>i</var> has been moved down to emphasize that it is unrelated to the <var>i</var> inside of <var>sum</var>.)
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="e">pragma.enable("one-method-object") # "def _.get" is experimental shorthand
def sum(&i, lo, hi, &term) { # bind i and term to passed slots
var temp := 0
i := lo
while (i <= hi) { # E has numeric-range iteration but it creates a distinct
temp += term # variable which would not be shared with the passed i
i += 1
}
return temp
}
{
var i := null
sum(&i, 1, 100, def _.get() { return 1/i })
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
<tt>1/i</tt> is not a noun, so there is no slot associated with it; so we use <tt>def _.get() { return 1/i }</tt> to define a slot object which does the computation when it is read as a slot.
 
The value returned by the above program (expression) is 5.187377517639621.
 
This emulation of the original call-by-name is of course unidiomatic; a natural version of the same computation would be:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="e">def sum(lo, hi, f) {
var temp := 0
for i in lo..hi { temp += f(i) }
return temp
}
sum(1, 100, fn i { 1/i })</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|Forth}}==
This version passes i on the stack:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="forth">: sum 0 s>f 1+ swap ?do i over execute f+ loop drop ;
:noname s>f 1 s>f fswap f/ ; 1 100 sum f.</syntaxhighlight>
Output: 5.18737751763962
 
The following version passes i and 1/i as execution tokens and is thus closer to the original, but less idiomatic:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="forth">: sum ( i-xt lo hi term-xt -- r )
\ stack effects: i-xt ( -- addr ); term-xt ( -- r1 )
0e swap 1+ rot ?do ( r1 xt1 xt2 )
i 2 pick execute ! dup execute f+
loop 2drop ;
 
variable i1 \ avoid conflict with Forth word I
' i1 1 100 :noname 1e i1 @ s>f f/ ; sum f.</syntaxhighlight>
 
Inspired by the macro-based versions here's a more idiomatic approach that is closer to the original than the first version above (Forth-2012 code):
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="forth">: sum< ( run-time: hi+1 lo -- 0e )
0e0 postpone fliteral postpone ?do ; immediate
 
: >sum ( run-time: r1 r2 -- r3 )
postpone f+ postpone loop ; immediate
 
: main ( -- )
101 1 sum< 1e0 i s>f f/ >sum f. ;
main</syntaxhighlight>
 
This splits <code>sum</code> in two macros: <code>sum&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;sum</code>; in <code>main</code> these two words surround the code corresponding to <code>1/i</code> in the Algol 60 version. The loop limits are <code>101 1</code>, passed on the stack to <code>sum&lt;</code> in the order and semantics (upper bound is excluded) idiomatic in Forth.
 
Concerning the <code>i</code> parameter of the Algol 60 version, that is an artifact of the role of variables for storing data and passing it around in Algol-family languages. Forth's counted loops can access the current loop counter of the innermost loop with <code>i</code> (which is not a variable) without setting a variable, and that is also what one uses inside <code>sum&lt;</code> ... <code>&gt;sum</code>, as shown in <code>main</code>.
 
=={{header|Fortran}}==
Fortran does not offer call-by-name in the manner of the Algol language. It passes parameters by reference (i.e. by passing the storage address) and alternatively uses copy-in, copy-out to give the same effect, approximately, as by reference. If a parameter is an arithmetic expression, it will be evaluated and its value stored in a temporary storage area, whose address will be passed to the routine. This evaluation is done once only for each call, thus vitiating the repeated re-evaluation required by Jensen's device every time within the routine that the parameter is accessed. So, this will ''not'' work<syntaxhighlight lang="fortran"> FUNCTION SUM(I,LO,HI,TERM)
SUM = 0
DO I = LO,HI
SUM = SUM + TERM
END DO
END FUNCTION SUM
WRITE (6,*) SUM(I,1,100,1.0/I)
END</syntaxhighlight>
Here, type declarations have been omitted to save space because they won't help - until there appears a "BY NAME" or some such phrasing. Although variable <code>I</code> in the calling routine will have its value adjusted as the DO-loop in SUM proceeds (the parameter being passed by reference), this won't affect the evaluation of 1.0/I, which will be performed once using whatever value is in the caller's variable (it is uninitialised, indeed, undeclared also and so by default an integer) then the function is invoked with the address of the location containing that result. The function will make many references to that result, obtaining the same value each time. The fact that the caller's <code>I</code> will be changed each time doesn't matter.
 
Fortran does offer a facility to pass a function as a parameter using the EXTERNAL declaration, as follows - SUM is a F90 library function, so a name change to SUMJ: <syntaxhighlight lang="fortran"> FUNCTION SUMJ(I,LO,HI,TERM) !Attempt to follow Jensen's Device...
INTEGER I !Being by reference is workable.
INTEGER LO,HI !Just as any other parameters.
EXTERNAL TERM !Thus, not a variable, but a function.
SUMJ = 0
DO I = LO,HI !The specified span.
SUMJ = SUMJ + TERM(I) !Number and type of parameters now apparent.
END DO !TERM will be evaluated afresh, each time.
END FUNCTION SUMJ !So, almost there.
 
FUNCTION THIS(I) !A function of an integer.
INTEGER I
THIS = 1.0/I !Convert to floating-point.
END !Since 1/i will mostly give zero.
 
PROGRAM JENSEN !Aspiration.
EXTERNAL THIS !Thus, not a variable, but a function.
INTEGER I !But this is a variable, not a function.
 
WRITE (6,*) SUMJ(I,1,100,THIS) !No statement as to the parameters of THIS.
END</syntaxhighlight>
The result of this is 5.187378, however it does not follow the formalism of Jensen's Device. The invocation statement SUMJ(I,1,100,THIS) does not contain the form of the function but only its name, and the function itself is defined separately. This means that the convenience of different functions via the likes of SUM(I,1,100,1.0/I**2) is unavailable, a separately-defined function with its own name must be defined for each such function. Further, the SUM routine must invoke TERM(I) itself, explicitly supplying the appropriate parameter. And the fact that variable <code>I</code> is a parameter to SUM is an irrelevance, and might as well be omitted from SUMJ.
 
Incidentally, a subroutine such as TEST(A,B) invoked as TEST(X,X) enables the discovery of copy-in, copy-out parameter passing. Within the routine, modify the value of A and look to see if B suddenly has a new value also.

=={{header|Icon}} and {{header|Unicon}}==
Traditional call by name and reference are not features of Icon/Unicon. Procedures parameters are passed by value (immutable types) and reference (mutable types). However, a similar effect may be accomplished by means of co-expressions. The example below was selected for cleanliness of calling.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="icon">record mutable(value) # record wrapper to provide mutable access to immutable types
 
procedure main()
A := mutable()
write( sum(A, 1, 100, create 1.0/A.value) )
end
 
procedure sum(A, lo, hi, term)
temp := 0
every A.value := lo to hi do
temp +:= @^term
return temp
end</syntaxhighlight>
 
Refreshing the co-expression above is more expensive to process but to avoid it requires unary alternation in the call.
<syntaxhighlight lang="icon"> write( sum(A, 1, 100, create |1.0/A.value) )
...
temp +:= @term</syntaxhighlight>
 
Alternately, we can use a programmer defined control operator (PDCO) approach that passes every argument as a co-expression. Again the refresh co-expression/unary iteration trade-off can be made. The call is cleaner looking but the procedure code is less clear. Additionally all the parameters are passed as individual co-expressions.
<syntaxhighlight lang="icon"> write( sum{A.value, 1, 100, 1.0/A.value} )
...
procedure sum(X)
...
every @X[1] := @X[2] to @X[3] do
temp +:= @^X[4]</syntaxhighlight>

Note, however, that in J it is reasonably likely that the expression (or an obvious variation on the expression) can deal with the looping itself. And in typical use this often simplifies to entering the expression and data directly on the command line.
 
And another obvious variation here would be turning the expression into a named entity (if it has some lasting usefulness).

Not really as asked for (implicit assumption replaced with explicit parameter) but this gives the required result. <br>
I could also have done what C and PHP are doing, though in Phix I'd have to explicitly assign the static var within the loop.<br>
I wholeheartedly agree with the comment on the Clipper example.

=={{header|R}}==
R uses a [[wp:Evaluation_strategy#Call_by_need|call by need]] evaluation strategy where function inputs
are evaluated on demand and then cached; functions can bypass the normal argument evaluation by using functions <tt>substitute</tt> and <tt>match.call</tt> to access the parse tree of the as-yet-unevaluated arguments, and using <tt>parent.frame</tt> to access the scope of the caller. There are some proposed
[http://developer.r-project.org/nonstandard-eval.pdf conventions] to do this in a way that is less confusing to the user
of a function; however, ignoring conventions we can come disturbingly close to the ALGOL call-by-name semantics.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="r">sum <- function(var, lo, hi, term)
eval(substitute({
.temp <- 0;
for (var in lo:hi) {
.temp <- .temp + term
}
.temp
}, as.list(match.call()[-1])),
enclos=parent.frame())
 
sum(i, 1, 100, 1/i) #prints 5.187378
 
##and because of enclos=parent.frame(), the term can involve variables in the caller's scope:
x <- -1

Actually, the <code>i</code> parameter needs to be passed by reference, as done in so many
examples here, so that changes made to it reflect on the parameter that was passed. Scala
supports passing parameters by name, but not by reference, which means it can't change the
value of any parameter passed. The code below gets around that by creating a mutable integer
class, which is effectively the same as passing by reference.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="scala">class MyInt { var i: Int = _ }
val i = new MyInt
def sum(i: MyInt, lo: Int, hi: Int, term: => Double) = {

<syntaxhighlight lang="tcl">proc sum2 {lo hi lambda} {
set sum 0.0
for {set n $lo} {$n < $hi} {incr n} {
set sum [expr {$sum + [apply $lambda $n]}]
}
return $sum
}
puts [sum2 1 100 {i {expr {1.0/$i}}}] ;# 5.177377517639621</syntaxhighlight>

As Wren doesn't support call by name, call by reference nor pointers we need to 'box' the global numeric variable 'i' and use a function for 'term' to simulate Jensen's device. This works because all user defined types are reference types and functions can capture external variables.
<syntaxhighlight lang="wren">class Box {
construct new(v) { _v = v }
v { _v }
v=(value) { _v = value }
}
 
var i = Box.new(0) // any initial value will do here
 
var sum = Fn.new { |i, lo, hi, term|
var temp = 0
i.v = lo
while (i.v <= hi) {
temp = temp + term.call()
i.v = i.v + 1
}
return temp
}
 
var s = sum.call(i, 1, 100, Fn.new { 1/i.v })
System.print(s)</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|zkl}}==
zkl doesn't support call by name/address but does have reference objects. Using an explicit call to term:
<syntaxhighlight lang="zkl">fcn sum(ri, lo,hi, term){
temp:=0.0; ri.set(lo);
do{ temp+=term(ri); } while(ri.inc()<hi); // inc return previous value
return(temp);
}
sum(Ref(0), 1,100, fcn(ri){ 1.0/ri.value }).println();</syntaxhighlight>
Using function application/deferred(lazy) objects, we can make the function call implicit (addition forces evaluation of the LHS):
<syntaxhighlight lang="zkl">fcn sum2(ri, lo,hi, term){
temp:=0.0; ri.set(lo);
do{ temp=term + temp; } while(ri.inc()<hi); // inc return previous value
return(temp);
}
ri:=Ref(0);
sum2(ri, 1,100, 'wrap(){ 1.0/ri.value }).println();</syntaxhighlight>
In this case, we can call sum or sum2 and it does the same thing (the ri parameter will be ignored).
 
Of course, as others have pointed out, this can be expressed very simply:
<syntaxhighlight lang="zkl">fcn sum3(lo,hi, term){ [lo..hi].reduce('wrap(sum,i){ sum + term(i) },0.0) }
sum3(1,100, fcn(i){ 1.0/i }).println();</syntaxhighlight>
