- Titania is a programming language based on Oberon-07, designed by Niklaus Wirth for teaching compiler development.
- The name 'Titania' is inspired by Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', where Titania is the wife of Oberon (Fairy King).
- The language syntax includes modules, import lists, declaration sequences, and various statements like assignments, conditionals, loops, and procedures.
- Key features include support for constants, types, variables, procedures, and structured data types like arrays, records, and pointers.
- Built-in functions cover operations like arithmetic shifts, type conversions, memory management, and assertions.
- The language provides standard control structures such as if-else, case, while, repeat, and for loops.
- Operators include arithmetic, logical, relational, and set operations.
- Memory management functions include 'new', 'delete', 'addr', 'size_of', and 'align_of'.
- Utility functions like 'print', 'println', and 'len' are available for basic I/O and array operations.
