Structured Programming Languages

Languages that helped establish structured programming, the discipline of building programs from blocks, choices and loops instead of unrestricted jumps. ALGOL 60 followed ALGOL 58 in introducing code blocks, P double prime offered an early formulation of the single-entry single-exit principle in 1964, and Ada is described as a structured, statically typed, imperative language. ALGOL 60 followed ALGOL 58, which had introduced code blocks and begin and end pairs, and Ada was inspired by Pascal.

ALGOL 60 (short for Algorithmic Language 1960) is a member of the ALGOL family of computer programming languages. It followed on from ALGOL 58 which had introduced code blocks and the begin and end pairs for delimiting them, representing a key advance in the rise of structured programming.

P′′ (P double prime) is a primitive computer programming language created by Corrado Böhm in 1964 to describe a family of Turing machines. It provided one of the earliest formulations of the single-entry single-exit principle central to structured programming.
