Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. ALGOL 60 The name
ALGOL of the family is sometimes given in mixed case, and sometimes in
all uppercase. Gave rise to many other programming languages, including
BCPL, B, Pascal, Simula, C, and many others. ALGOL 58 introduced code
blocks and the begin and end pairs for delimiting them. ALGOL 60 was the
first language implementing nested function definitions with lexical
scope. Niklaus Wirth based his own ALGOL W on ALGOL 60 before moving to
develop Pascal. Algol-W was intended to be the next generation ALGOL but
the ALGOL 68 committee decided on a design that was more complex and
advanced rather than a cleaned simplified ALGOL 60. The official ALGOL
versions are named after the year they were first published. Note: ALGOL
68 is substantially different from Algol 60 but was not well received so
that in general "Algol" means dialects of Algol 60
