ALGOL 60 was also a language that achieved a measure of aesthetic grace in theoretical terms, but did little to encourage or enable the programmer to produce quality code at high rates of speed.
ALGOL (short for ALGOrithmic Language) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which became the de facto standard way to report algorithms in print for almost the next 30 years.
ALGOL 68 was defined using a two-level grammar formalism invented by Adriaan van Wijngaarden and which bears his name.
In computer science, object file or objectcode is an intermediate representation of code generated by a compiler after it processes a source code file.
Object files contain compact, pre-parsed code, often called binaries, that can be linked with other object files to generate a final executable or code library.
An object file format is a computer file format used for the storage of objectcode and related data typically produced by a compiler or assembler.
