Modernized Algol

ALGOL

ALGOL is a family of imperative computer programming languages developed in 1958 which heavily influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the ACM for over 30 years. It introduced code blocks, nested function definitions with lexical scope, and Backus–Naur form. ALGOL 60 and its dialects are generally considered to be the most influential versions.
