Which is the first compiler-level language developed by a team of IBM programmers led by John Backus and unveiled in 1957?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C FORTRAN
FORTRAN is the first
compiler-level language developed by a team of IBM programmers led by John
Backus and unveiled in 1957
A draft specification for
The IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System was completed by mid-1954. The
first manual for FORTRAN appeared in October 1956, with the first FORTRAN
compiler delivered in April 1957. This was the first optimizing compiler, because
customers were reluctant to use a high-level programming language unless its
compiler could generate code with performance comparable to that of hand-coded
assembly language.
