Address (programming language)
The Address programming language (Template:Lang-ru) was one of the world's first high-level programming languages. [1] It was created in 1955 by Ekaterina Yushchenko. In particular, the Address programming language made possible indirect addressing and addresses of the highest rank - analogous to pointers.
Unlike Fortran and Algol, APL (Address programming language) contained the indirect addressing and addressing of higher ranks. Indirect addressing is a mechanism that appeared in other programming languages much later (1963–1965rr - PL / 1).
Address language was implemented on all the computers of first and second generation produced in the Soviet Union. Address language influenced the architecture of computers Kyiv, Strela, Ural, Promin. For the solution of problems of the economy, including aviation, space exploration, machine building, military complex, in particular, to calculate the trajectories of ballistic missiles in flight 1950-60s used exclusively Address language. Implementations of Address programming language were used for nearly 20 years. A book about APL was written in 1967 and it was translated into French and published in France in 1974.
The Address language affected not only the Soviet Union's economical development, but information technology and programming. APL's proposed and implemented ideas and tools can be found in many programming-related fields, such as abstract data types, object-oriented programming, functional programming, database and artificial intelligence.
