Bibliographic Details
Title: A Contribution to the Development of ALGOL.
Authors: Wirth, Niklaus1, Hoare, C.A.R.2
Source: Communications of the ACM. Jun66, Vol. 9 Issue 6, p413-431. 19p.
Subjects: ALGOL (Computer program language), SIMULA (Computer program language), C (Computer program language), Programming languages, Electronic data processing, Artificial languages
Abstract: A programming language similar in many respects to ALGOL 60, but incorporating a large number of improvements based on six years' experience with that language, is described in detail. Part I consists of an introduction to the new language and a summary of the changes made to ALGOL 60, together with a discussion of the motives behind the revisions. Part II is a rigorous definition of the proposed language Part III describes a set of proposed standard procedures to be used with the language, including facilities for input/output.
