Answer 1

ANSWER :

Developed at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. in 1962, SNOBOL IV is a computer programming language containing many features not commonly found in other programming languages. The basic data element of SNOBOL IV is a string of characters, such as this line of printing. The language has operations for joining and separating strings, for testing their contents, for making replacements in them, etc. SNOBOL IV provides numerical capabilities with both integers and real numbers. Conversions among integers, real numbers, and strings represen­ting integers or real numbers are performed automatically as required. SNOBOL IV provides great flexibility of function usage. Functions can be defined and redefined during program execution. Function calls can be made recursively with no special program notation.These and many other important features make this language highly applicable to such areas as compilation techniques, machine simula­tion, symbolic math, text preparation, natural language translation, linguistics, music analysis, and many others.
SNOBOL IV has been implemented on several different computers, in­cluding the IBM 360, UNIVAC 1108, GE 635, CDC 3600, CDC 6000,PDP-10, SICMA 5,6,7, ATLAS 2, and RCA SPECTRA 70 series.
