Topic: Algol60


In the News (Mon 6 Oct 08)

  
  ALGOL 58 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Both IAL and ALGOL60 allowed arrays with arbitrary lower and upper subscript bounds, and allowed subscript bounds to be defined by integer expressions.
Both IAL and ALGOL60 allowed nesting of procedure declarations and the corresponding identifier scopes.
The IAL report did not explicitly specify which standard functions were to be provided, making a vague reference to the "standard functions of analysis." The ALGOL60 report had a more explicit list of standard functions.

 :: LEAST I COULD DO FORUM:: > 12/6/05 Programming Language of the Week: Algol
Algol60 was strongly typed in the sense that the compiler checked parameter types in expressions and subroutine calls.
Algol60 was probably the first computer language whose syntax was completely described with a formal grammar prior to writing the compiler!
Algol60 as originally defined had no language statements specifically for I/O, which is common today but unique back in the late 1950s.

 Language Reference - History
When I went on to graduate school at the Univ. of Wisconsin, I learned several assembly languages, including the CDC 1604 and the IBM 7090, but FORTRAN was still the main programming tool.
Programming languages were an active field of research, and the next languages to appear at my site were: Algol60, SNOBOL, and Lisp.
Algol60 was implemented on the famous Burroughs 5500 computer, a stack machine.

 CS 203
The RK procedure was separated from the RK1ST procedure (in the Algol60 code RK1ST is written inside RK).
Type declarations from the Algol60 code had to be modified syntactically: ‘real’ was replaced in the C code by ‘float’, ‘integer’ was replaced by ‘int’, ‘Boolean’ was replaced by ‘int’, ‘own’ was replaced by ‘static’, and the array declarations had to be modified.
The variables declared as ‘own’ in Algol60 were declared as static in Pascal.

It has no relation to the do of the preliminary report, which is not included in Algol60.
Delimiters have a fixed meaning which for the most part is obvious or else will be given at the appropriate place in the sequel.

Later, the designers realized the idea of dynamic modeling using a general purpose extensive language based on ALGOL60.
This led to the design and implementation of SIMULA67, which as the name implies, was introduced in 1967.
SIMULA67 used block and control statement structure ideas from ALGOL60 and expanded on it.

 Preface to CSLI-96-198 Parts 1-4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Every ``practical'' programming language supplies the programmer with at least one nonstrict construct, such as the ALGOL60 arithmetic `if-then-else' and the LISP `cond'.
In some languages, this is accomplished through lazy evaluation of procedure parameters, as realized, for example, by the call-by-name devices of ALGOL60 and SIMULA67 and the call-by-need mechanism of haskell.
Suitable transformations of sentences in standard logic into sentences in nonstrict positive free logic preserve many properties of definitions in standard logic.

 QIN SHEN's HOMEWORK 1
-------------------------------------------------- Discussion of the Runge-Kutta Algorithm written in Algol60, C and Pascal (1) Algol60 --> C * Since C doesn't support function/procedure nesting, we have to change the nested Algol60 function definitions to functions defined in parallel.
* The function parameters in Algol60 are passed by default "call-by-name" or by "call-by-value" if specified.
* Compared to Algol60, the code written in C is much cleaner.

In Algol60 a variable could be called "do" and not be confused with the basic symbol printed with the letters "d" and "o" in bold case.
In the Algol60 report empty was left undefined but understood to refer to a string with zero symbols in it.
