Detailed explanation-1: -John Backus developed Fortran, or Formula Translator, one of the first general purpose, high-level computer programming languages. This widely used language made computers practical and accessible machines for scientists and others without requiring them to have deep knowledge of the machinery.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the first widely accepted, high-level computer programming language, Fortran has either directly or indirectly influenced some of the most commonly used computer languages of today.
Detailed explanation-3: -Programming was very difficult at this time, and in 1954 Backus assembled a team to define and develop Fortran for the IBM 704 computer. Fortran was the first high-level programming language to be put to broad use.
