What are the disadvantages of Algol programming language?

Answer 1

"c is a mother language no dis advantage."

If there were no disadvantages to C, then C would be the only programming language!

C is not an object oriented language - to make it so, C++ was developed.

C is not a "strongly" typed language. Some might see this as an advantage (as there are times when this is highly beneficial). From a code maintenance standpoint this is a weakness. C also has been (especially in the early days) considered highly cryptic. To be fair, any programming language can be coded cryptically, it's just easier in C.

C requires something to be defined before it can be used. This is not an entirely bad thing as Best Design Practices calls for "Top-down" design with "bottom-up" implementation.

Answer 2

The major disadvantage is due to the lack of popularity and lack of widespread support and knowledge.

LISP should therefore only be chosen for new development if there are strong specific reasons that qualify LISP as the by far best suited language for the job.

Answer 3

Identify two second generation program language e.g ALGOL. (Must include about 2 paragraph max. about each particular program language) It must include the person who developed the program language and when it was developed.

Answer 4

Despite lisp being a fairly easy language to learn with high functionality, people do not like it. Reasons cited include the way the syntax works and its lack of readability.

Answer 5

Common LISP enables the programmers to create programs faster and using fewer lines of code than most other languages. LISP languages are the second oldest HLLs after FORTRAN.

Answer 6

as opposed to? visual program creation? it's harder, and it can get confusing due to your having a LOT of text and you don't really have an overview so as to what it all does

Answer 7

There is basically no disadvantage of using a language like C. It depends on the programmer how he uses his skills.

Answer 8

The disadvantages of a low level language are typically cited as being relatively difficult to read, harder to debug, and requires more development time than a high level language.
