Programming language BASIC (Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) developed at Dartmouth College, US, by Thomas E. Kurtz and John George Kemeny. BASIC was not implemented on microcomputers until 1975. This was the first language designed to be used in a time-sharing environment, such as DTSS (Dartmouth Time-Sharing System), or GCOS ...
The first high-level programming language was Plankalkül, created by Konrad Zuse between 1942 and 1945. [2] The first high-level language to have an associated compiler was created by Corrado Böhm in 1951, for his PhD thesis. [3]
Frances E. Holberton, also working at UNIVAC, developed a code [clarification needed], C-10, which let programmers use keyboard inputs and created the Sort-Merge Generator in 1951. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] Adele Mildred Koss and Hopper also created the precursor to a report generator .
Timeline of computing presents events in the history of computing organized by year and grouped into six topic areas: predictions and concepts, first use and inventions, hardware systems and processors, operating systems, programming languages, and new application areas.
Date Location Event January United Kingdom (UK) Sinclair ZX80 was released for under £100.: 22 May Japan: The game Pac-Man was released. [1]June United States (US) Commodore released the VIC-20, which had 3.5 KB of usable memory and was based on the MOS Technology 6502 processor.
With James Cooley, created the fast Fourier transform. He invented the term "bit". [57] 1936 Turing, Alan: Made several fundamental contributions to theoretical computer science, including the Turing machine computational model, the conceiving of the stored program concept and the designing of the high-speed ACE design.
Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages.
