Editing ALGOL 60 (section)

====ALGOL 60 family====
Since ALGOL 60 had no I/O facilities, there is no portable [[hello world program]] in ALGOL. The following program could (and still will) compile and run on an ALGOL implementation for a Unisys A-Series mainframe, and is a straightforward simplification of code taken from The Language Guide<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/ |title=The ALGOL Programming Language |website=www.engin.umd.umich.edu |access-date=11 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100210185248/http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/algol/algol.html |archive-date=10 February 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> at the [[University of Michigan]]-Dearborn Computer and Information
Science Department Hello world! ALGOL Example Program page.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/algol/hworld.html |title=Hello world!

 BEGIN
   FILE F(KIND=REMOTE);
   [[EBCDIC]] ARRAY E[0:11];
   REPLACE E BY "HELLO WORLD!";
   WRITE(F, *, E);
 END.

Where * etc. represented a format specification as used in FORTRAN, e.g.<ref>[[Fortran#"Hello, World!" example]]</ref>

A simpler program using an inline format:
{{sxhl|2=m2|1=<nowiki/>
 BEGIN
   FILE F(KIND=REMOTE);
   WRITE(F, <"HELLO WORLD!">);
 END.
}}
An even simpler program using the Display statement:

{{sxhl|2=m2|1= BEGIN DISPLAY("HELLO WORLD!") END.}}

An alternative example, using Elliott Algol I/O is as follows. Elliott Algol used different characters for "open-string-quote" and "close-string-quote", represented here by {{color box|rgba(255,255,255,0)|border=silver| [[‘]]}} and {{color box|rgba(255,255,255,0)|border=silver| [[Single quotation mark|’]]}}.
{{sxhl|2=pascal|1=<nowiki/>
 program HiFolks;
 begin
    print ‘Hello world’
 end;
}}
Here's a version for the Elliott 803 Algol (A104) The standard Elliott 803 used 5-hole paper tape and thus only had upper case. The code lacked any quote characters so [[£]] (pound sign) was used for open quote and [[?]] (question mark) for close quote. Special sequences were placed in double quotes (e.g., £L?? produced a new line on the teleprinter).

   HIFOLKS'
   BEGIN
      PRINT £HELLO WORLD£L??'
   END'

The [[ICT 1900 series]] Algol I/O version allowed input from paper tape or punched card. Paper tape 'full' mode allowed lower case. Output was to a line printer. Note use of '(', ')', and %.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.icl1900.co.uk/techpub/tp3340.djvu|title=ICL 1900 series: Algol Language|publisher=ICL Technical Publication 3340|year=1965}}</ref>
   'PROGRAM' (HELLO)
   'BEGIN'
      'COMMENT' OPEN QUOTE IS '(', CLOSE IS ')', PRINTABLE SPACE HAS TO
                BE WRITTEN AS % BECAUSE SPACES ARE IGNORED;
      WRITE TEXT('('HELLO%WORLD')');
   'END'
   'FINISH'
