Algol programming language family

ALGOL

ALGOL (short for "Algorithmic Language") is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in 1958. PS-algol and ALGOL are Algol programming language family.

See PS-algol and ALGOL

ALGOL 60

ALGOL 60 (short for Algorithmic Language 1960) is a member of the ALGOL family of computer programming languages. PS-algol and ALGOL 60 are Algol programming language family.

See PS-algol and ALGOL 60

Comparison of multi-paradigm programming languages

Programming languages can be grouped by the number and types of paradigms supported.

See PS-algol and Comparison of multi-paradigm programming languages

Flex machine

The Flex Computer System was developed by Michael Foster and Ian Currie of Royal Signals and Radar Establishment (RSRE) in Malvern, England, during the late 1970s and 1980s.

See PS-algol and Flex machine

Imperative programming

In computer science, imperative programming is a programming paradigm of software that uses statements that change a program's state.

See PS-algol and Imperative programming

International Computers Limited

International Computers Limited (ICL) was a British computer hardware, computer software and computer services company that operated from 1968 until 2002.

See PS-algol and International Computers Limited

A mainframe computer, informally called a mainframe or big iron, is a computer used primarily by large organizations for critical applications like bulk data processing for tasks such as censuses, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and large-scale transaction processing.

Malcolm Atkinson

Malcolm Phillip Atkinson (born 13 October 1943, Cornwall, UK) is a professor of e-Science, in the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics.

Napier88

Napier88 is an orthogonally persistent programming language that was designed and implemented at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. PS-algol and Napier88 are Algol programming language family and programming language topic stubs.

See PS-algol and Napier88

Pascal (programming language)

Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, designed by Niklaus Wirth as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.

See PS-algol and Pascal (programming language)

Paul Cockshott

William Paul Cockshott (born 16 March 1952) is a Scottish academic in the fields of computer science and Marxist economics.

See PS-algol and Paul Cockshott

Persistence (computer science)

In computer science, persistence refers to the characteristic of state of a system that outlives (persists more than) the process that created it.

See PS-algol and Persistence (computer science)

Procedural programming

Procedural programming is a programming paradigm, classified as imperative programming, that involves implementing the behavior of a computer program as procedures (a.k.a. functions, subroutines) that call each other.

See PS-algol and Procedural programming

Programming language

A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs.

See PS-algol and Programming language

Ron Morrison

Ron Morrison was the head of School of the computer science department of the University of St. Andrews where he worked on programming languages, inventing S-algol, and coinventing PS-algol and Napier88.

See PS-algol and Ron Morrison

S-algol

S-algol (St Andrews Algol) is a computer programming language derivative of ALGOL 60 developed at the University of St Andrews in 1979 by Ron Morrison and Tony Davie.

See PS-algol and S-algol

Scotland

Scotland (Scots: Scotland; Scottish Gaelic: Alba) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

See PS-algol and Scotland

Structured programming

Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed at improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making extensive use of the structured control flow constructs of selection (if/then/else) and repetition (while and for), block structures, and subroutines.

See PS-algol and Structured programming

University of Edinburgh

The University of Edinburgh (University o Edinburgh, Oilthigh Dhùn Èideann; abbreviated as Edin. in post-nominals) is a public research university based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

University of St Andrews

The University of St Andrews (Oilthigh Chill Rìmhinn; abbreviated as St And, from the Latin Sancti Andreae, in post-nominals) is a public university in St Andrews, Scotland.
