Sign in to saveAlso known as ALGO rithmic L anguage
ALGOL (; short for "Algorithmic Language") is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in 1958. ALGOL heavily influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in textbooks and academic sources for more than thirty years.
ALGOL is a family of computer programming languages created in 1958 that allowed programmers to write instructions for computers in a more readable, standardized way. It became hugely influential in computing and education, serving as the main language that computer scientists used to teach and document algorithms in academic textbooks for over three decades.
