ALGOL (Algorithmic Language) is the name of two computer programming languages that have had a significant impact on the design of modern programming languages.
A constant in computer science and mathematics refers to a value that does not change during the execution of a program or evaluation of an expression. They stand in contrast to variables, which can store different values during program execution.
Labor-intensive refers to any activity in which labor costs are more crucial than capital costs. Such activities typically require a significant amount of human effort and time.
Machine language is the set of binary instructions that a computer's central processing unit (CPU) can execute directly. Each statement in machine language, often represented in binary code, corresponds to one specific machine action, allowing for highly efficient program execution but posing significant challenges for programming due to its lack of human-readable commands.
A programmer is a professional who writes and tests the code that allows computer applications and software programs to function as intended. They receive directions from systems analysts to create the detailed instructions that enable computers to perform specific tasks.
In computing, a subroutine is a set of instructions designed to perform a frequently used operation within a program.
