We present a PCF-like calculus having real numbers as a basic data type. The calculus is defined by its denotational semantics. We prove the universality of the calculus (i.e. every computable element is definable). We address the general problem of providing an operational semantics to calculi for the real numbers. We present a possible solution based on a new representation for the real numbers.
