'''ALGOL N''' (''N'' for ''Nippon'' – Japan in [[Japanese language|Japanese]]) is the name of a successor [[programming language]] to [[ALGOL 60]],<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Igarashi |first1=S. |last2=Iwamura |first2=T. |last3=Sakuma |first3=K. |last4=Simauti |first4=T. |last5=Simuzu |first5=T. |last6=Takasu |first6=S. |last7=Wada |first7=E. |author7-link=Eiiti Wada |last8=Yoneda |first8=N. |author8-link=Nobuo Yoneda |date=February 1969 |title=ALGOL N |url=http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1061125.1061130 |journal=[[ALGOL Bulletin]] |issue=30 |pages=38–85}}</ref><ref>{{cite report |last1=Igarashi |first1=S. |last2=Iwamura |first2=T. |last3=Sakuma |first3=K. |last4=Shimauti |first4=T. |last5=Shimizu |first5=T. |last6=Takasu |first6=S. |last7=Wada |first7=E. |author7-link=Eiiti Wada |last8=Yoneda |first8=N. |author8-link=Nobuo Yoneda |date=February 1969 |url=https://repository.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dspace/handle/2433/100407 |title=Study of an Algorithmic Language: The Description and Compiling: ALGOL N |website=Kyoto University Research Information Repository |format=PDF}}</ref> designed in [[Japan]] with the goal of being as simple as ALGOL 60 but as powerful as [[ALGOL 68]]. The language was proposed by [[Nobuo Yoneda]]. ALGOL N tried to use [[extensibility]] to solve the problem that language designers faced when trying to make an inextensible language for all domains, or having to make many [[domain-specific language]]s (DSLs), one for each domain. It avoided [[type conversion]] (coercion) while not making things more difficult for programmers.
