FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The first commercially available language was FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation), developed in 1956 (first manual appeared in 1956, but first developed in 1954) by a team led by John Backus at IBM.

Detailed explanation-2: -Computer Programming History: FORTRAN was the first computer programming language that was widely used. A Brief History of Computer Programming Languages: Computer code is the foundation of computers, enabling them to do the tasks humans need them to do.

Detailed explanation-3: -From its creation in 1954, and its commercial release in 1957 as the progenitor of software, Fortran (FORMula TRANslator) became the first computer language standard, “helped open the door to modern computing, ” and may well be the most influential software product in history.

Detailed explanation-4: -First tested in 1954 and commercially released in 1957, Fortran marked the beginning of computer software. It gave computer users the first accessible “high-level” language and enabled computers to optimize commands 20 times more efficiently.

Detailed explanation-5: -The IBM team didn’t invent HLL or the idea of compiling programming language into machine code, but Fortran was the first successful HLL and the Fortran I compiler holds the record for translating code for over 20 years.
