ALGOL:
A
Included structured control statements for sequencing, loops, and selection statements.
B
Introduced the array structure.
C
Supported recursion.
D
Is a low-level programming language.
E
Uses an Assembler to translate programming language statements into machine code.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In fact, the differentiation program was not implemented that summer, because FLPL [ed: a Fortran dialect] allows neither conditional expressions nor recursive use of subroutines.

Detailed explanation-2: -Detailed Solution. Quick sort and merge sort algorithms are based on the divide and conquer algorithm which works in the recursive manner. Recursion is used in Quick sort and merge sort.

Detailed explanation-3: -ALGOL, computer programming language designed by an international committee of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), led by Alan J. Perlis of Carnegie Mellon University, during 1958–60 for publishing algorithms, as well as for doing computations.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is a portable computer language family used for scientific calculations that has had a significant effect on other languages. Ans. ALGOL is one of many high-level programming languages created primarily for scientific computations.
