Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 13PS
Explanation of Solution
Primary reason why PL/I became more widely used than ALGOL 68:
ALGOL was developed jointly by a Committee of members from two major organizations in Europe and United States.
- ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and GAMM (a German acronym for Society for Applied Mathematics and
Mechanics ) were the two organizations who designed together ALGOL 60. - PL/I were designed by IBM.
- ALGOL 60 was the result for the need for a universal language for scientific applications...

Do you believe that the type checking performed on pointer variables in assembly language is more rigorous than that performed in C and C++, or do you believe that it is the same in both cases?
AED is the acronym for Algol extended for design. why?
Do you think type checking on pointer variables is greater (stricter) in assembly language than it is in C and
C++, or do you think it is both?

- One characteristic of programming languages that varies widely from language to language is how parameters are passed. Among ALGOL, Pascal, Ada, C, C++, Java, and C#, no two languages pass parameters in exactly the same way. Among these languages, choose the one that you believe has adopted the best approach to parameter passing. Defend your decision by outlining the advantages of the approach of the language that you chose and the disadvantages of the approaches taken by other languages.arrow_forwardWhat was the source of all of the control flow statements of Fortran I?arrow_forwardThe Haskell : is significant in many different ways.
