Information from the user concerning the desired program is used to instantiate the schemas to yield production rules, and then these rules generate executable code in a strictly syntactic fashion. Emphasis is placed on decomposing the synthesis problem into a hierarchy of tasks which can each be solved by application of a schema. The method is demonstrated by showing how programs can be synthesized from examples of their input-output behaviors.
