ALGOL 68 Wijngaarden et al. ALGOL 68 was discussed from 1963 by Working Group 2.1 of {IFIP}. Its definition was accepted in December 1968. ALGOL 68 was complex, and posed difficulties for both implementors and users. It featured {structural equivalence}; automatic type conversion ("{coercion}") including {dereferencing}; {flexible arrays}; generalised loops (for-from-by-to-while-do-od), if-then-elif-fi, an integer case statement with an 'out' clause; {skip} and {goto} statements; blocks; procedures; user-defined operators; {procedure parameters}; {concurrent} execution (cobegin/coend); {semaphores}; generators "heap" and "loc" for {dynamic allocation}. It had no {abstract data types} or {separate compilation}. (1995-05-01) | |
