1970;
THE PROGRAM
DATA TYPES

TYPES
Simple String Structured
Integer Set

Real Record

Char File

Boolean Objects
 ADVANTAGES

• Incorporated a variety of
data types;

• Innovation in the
programming language;
 ADVANTAGES

• Possible to work with

complex data types;

• Case-statement
DISADVANTAGES

• Problems with control—

flow;
"while (i <= XMAX) and (x[i]
> 0) do"

• No break-statement;
• No return-statement;
LATER DEVELOPMENT
• Install on microcomputers;

• Basis for teaching

programming language;

• Availability of tutorial material

and the language definition;

CONCLUSION

• Understandable;
• Portable;
• Reliable;

• Has many successor

languages;
