Procedural languages

From Programming Paradigm on Wikipedia.

  • COmmon Business Oriented Language (COBOL) – uses terms like file, move and copy.
  • FORmula TRANslation (FORTRAN) – using mathematical language terminology, it was developed mainly for scientific and engineering problems.
  • ALGOrithmic Language (ALGOL) – focused on being an appropriate language to define algorithms, while using mathematical language terminology, targeting scientific and engineering problems, just like FORTRAN.
  • Programming Language One (PL/I) – a hybrid commercial-scientific general purpose language supporting pointers.
  • Beginners All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code (BASIC) – it was developed to enable more people to write programs.
  • C – a general-purpose programming language, initially developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at AT&T Bell Labs.
