I've added a request for clarification to the discussion of call by name in the "Properties" section. To clarify this request: when the text says that Algol 60 "allowed for" both call by name and call by value, does this mean that a conforming implementation could choose to provide one or the other? Or does it mean that the language provided some mechanism whereby a programmer could choose one evaluation strategy or the other (e.g. by declaring or calling the procedure in a particular way?)

OR and AND representations

Could someone check for the corresponding symbols of OR and AND in this language, and also their respective priority? Thanks. Teuxe (talk) 14:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to Algol Compilation and Assessment (B.A. Wichmann, 1973), and following the standard notations provided in Boolean algebra (logic), it appears that only the interpretation (and) and (or) of the symbols was incorrect in the Standard Operators table. Now fixed. Teuxe (talk) 14:16, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 3 external links on ALGOL 60. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

ALCOR-ILLINOIS 7090 ALGOL Compiler

Just to let people know that I will in a few days add a new entry to the table: The ALCOR-ILLINOIS 7090 ALGOL Compiler. Started in 1962 in Illinois and completed in 1964 in Munich, Germany. I have two references, one is: Gries, Paul, and Wiehle. Some techniques used in the ALCOR-Illinois 7090. Comm. ACM 8 (August 1965), 496-500. It's strange but I didn't see this webpage all these years. David Gries DavidGries (talk) 13:05, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The author needs to be named in the reference, but it would be better to put these citations in the article, not the talk page, unless they need discussion before they're included. --Northernhenge (talk) 00:07, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
