Encyclopedia > FORTRAN Assembly Program

FORTRAN Assembly Program (FAP) was a macro assembler for the IBM 709, 7090, and 7094 computers of the 1950s and 60s. An assembler is a computer program for translating assembly language — essentially, a mnemonic representation of machine language — into object code. ... The IBM 700/7000 series was a series of incompatible large scale (mainframe) computer systems made by IBM through the 1950s and early 1960s. ... // Events and trends The 1950s in Western society was marked with a sharp rise in the economy for the first time in almost 30 years and return to the 1920s-type consumer society built on credit and boom-times, as well as the height of the baby-boom from returning...

Its pseudo-operation BSS, used to reserve memory, is the origin of the common name of the "BSS section", still used in many assembly languages today for designating reserved memory address ranges of the type not having to be saved in the executable image. This article is about Block started by symbol (BSS), BSS can also mean Base Station Subsystem in GSM Block Started by Symbol (BSS) was a pseudo-op in UA-SAP (United Aircraft Symbolic Assembly Program), the assembler developed in the mid-1950s for the IBM 704 by Roy Nutt...

Programming Language, in computer science, artificial language used to write a sequence of instructions (a computer program) that can be run by a computer.
For instance, programming languages such as Fortran and COBOL were written to solve certain general types of programming problems—Fortran for scientific applications, and COBOL for business applications.
Assembly languages are intermediate languages that are very close to machine language and do not have the level of linguistic sophistication exhibited by other high-level languages, but must still be translated into machine language.
Categorical list of programming languages Summary (3665 words)
Assembly languages directly correspond to a machine language (see below) in order to allow machine code instructions to be written in a form understandable by humans.
Assembly languages allow programmers to use symbolic addresses which are later converted to absolute addresses by the assembler.
Procedural programming languages are based on the concept of the unit and scope (the data viewing range of an executable code statement).
