(FORmula TRANslator) The first high-level programming language and compiler, developed in 1954 by IBM. It was originally designed to express mathematical formulas, and although it is used occasionally for business applications, it is still the most widely used language for scientific, engineering and mathematical problems. FORTRAN IV is an ANSI standard, but FORTRAN V has various proprietary versions. The following FORTRAN example converts Fahrenheit to Celsius: WRITE(6,*) 'Enter Fahrenheit ' READ(5,*) XFAHR XCENT = (XFAHR - 32) * 5 / 9WRITE(6,*) 'Celsius is ',XCENT STOP END

Programming languages such as COBOL and FORTRAN are examples of procedure languages.
COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC, C and C++.
Fortran IV was a version of the Fortran programming language developed in the 1960's. It was widely accepted as a standard version of Fortran until the development of Fortran 66 which was itself largely based on Fortran iV.

BASIC and FORTRAN are computer programming languages.
Examples of 'old' computer languages are... FORTRAN (an acronym of FORmula TRANslation), BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) COBOL (COmmon Business Orientated Language)
Machine code, assembly language, COBOL, FORTRAN and C. Machine code is the only language that is native to the machine. All others must be converted to machine code.
