CPL was a big language for its time. CPL attempted to go beyond ALGOL to include industrial process control, business data processing and possibly some early command line games. [4] CPL was intended to allow low-level programming and high level abstractions using the same language. However, CPL was only implemented very slowly.

A concatenative programming language is a point-free computer programming language in which all expressions denote functions, and the juxtaposition of expressions denotes function composition. [4] Concatenative programming replaces function application , which is common in other programming styles, with function composition as the default way ...
Python supports normal floating point numbers, which are created when a dot is used in a literal (e.g. 1.1), when an integer and a floating point number are used in an expression, or as a result of some mathematical operations ("true division" via the / operator, or exponentiation with a negative exponent).
ALGOL 60 (short for Algorithmic Language 1960) is a member of the ALGOL family of computer programming languages.It followed on from ALGOL 58 which had introduced code blocks and the begin and end pairs for delimiting them, representing a key advance in the rise of structured programming.
The distinction between general-purpose programming languages and domain-specific programming languages is not always clear. [2] A programming language may be created for a specific task, but used beyond that original domain and thus be considered a general purpose programming language.
In computer programming, a function (also procedure, method, subroutine, routine, or subprogram) is a callable unit [1] of software logic that has a well-defined interface and behavior and can be invoked multiple times.
