Reading in ALGOL, Compiling in ALGOL

We are about ready to move on to the next programming language: ALGOL.

Here is a page with some free ALGOL compilers and interpreters. Try installing one and see if the following "hello world" code will run:

'BEGIN'
 'COMMENT' Hello World in Algol 60;
  OUTPUT(4,'(''('Hello World!')',/')')
'END'

Or in ALGOL 68:

( # Hello World in Algol 68 # print(("Hello World!",newline)))

In the book, read from pg. 95-121.
