ALGOL 68
ALGOL 68 (short for ALGOrithmic Language 1968) is an imperative computer programming language that was conceived as a successor to the ALGOL 60 programming language, designed with the goal of a much wider scope of application and more rigorously defined syntax and semantics. Contributions of ALGOL... -
Elliott ALGOL
Elliott ALGOL (also known simply as Extended ALGOL) was the Burroughs-specific extension of the ALGOL 60 programming language designed system and application programming in Burroughs large systems. Elliott ALGOL was used to write the ESPOL compiler for the B5500, B6500, B6700 members of the... -
ALGOL 58
ALGOL 58, originally known as IAL, is one of the family of ALGOL computer programming languages. It was an early compromise design soon superseded by ALGOL 60. According to John Backus "The Zurich ACM-GAMM Conference had two principal motives in proposing the IAL: (a) To provide a means of... -
ALGOL
ALGOL (short for ALGOrithmic Language) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and became the de facto way algorithms were described in textbooks and academic works for almost the next 30 years. It... -
Dartmouth ALGOL 30
Dartmouth ALGOL 30 was an implementation, firstly of ALGOL 58, then of ALGOL 60 for the LGP-30 at Dartmouth College, hence the name. Since the limited size of the LGP-30 precluded a full implementation of ALGOL 60, certain of its features (arrays called by value, own arrays, strings, variable array... -
ALGOL W
ALGOL-W is a programming language. It was based on a proposal for ALGOL-X by Niklaus Wirth and Tony Hoare as a successor to ALGOL 60 in the IFIP Working Group 2.1. When the committee decided that the proposal was not a sufficient advance over ALGOL 60, the proposal was published Niklaus Wirth & C....
