概要

Algol is one the oldest high-level programming language developed in last 1950's. In spite of the powerful features for scientific computations, it is hardly available nowadays, in contrast to the situation with Fortran, which still remains in widespread use. Algol, however, left many successors such as Pascal, Modula-2,C, for example. But many of the language features in Algol have been left out in these languages. The discussion focuses on the for statement in Algol and several languages. The strength and flexibility of Algol for statement is examined, and comparison of the for statement in other languages will be made in order to reveal the language features and the design concept. Especially, reflection of the impact of the "structured programming" on the evolution of the design concept in programming languages will be discussed.
