Chapter 2, Problem 5PS

Explanation of Solution

Original goals of the ALGOL design committee:

• The most difficult goal among the three original goals of the ALGOL design committee is the second goal.
• The second goal states that the language must be used for describing algorithms.
• Developing a language with pseudocode or symbolic notation for describing algorithm for publication is really difficult.
• The other difficulties in achieving the design goals of ALGOL design committee are given below:
  • The first goal was to design a language whose syntax must be similar to the mathematical notation and programs must be easy to understand...
