Which programming language is based on Algol 60.

PILOT
SNOBOL
ADA
SIMULA E. None of the above

The correct answer is D. SIMULA.

SIMULA is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language developed by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center in Oslo, Norway, beginning in 1962. It was the first object-oriented programming language, and it influenced the development of many other object-oriented languages, including Smalltalk, C++, Java, and Objective-C.

SIMULA was originally developed for simulating discrete event systems, such as traffic flow and computer networks. It was later extended to support other programming paradigms, such as procedural programming and modular programming.

SIMULA is still in use today, primarily for simulation and modeling applications. It is also used in some educational settings.


A. PILOT is a programming language developed by James Martin in the early 1960s. It was designed to be a simple, easy-to-learn language for business applications. PILOT is still in use today, primarily for teaching programming to beginners.


B. SNOBOL is a string manipulation programming language developed by Ralph Griswold and James I. Barber at Bell Labs in the late 1950s. It was one of the first languages to support regular expressions. SNOBOL is still in use today, primarily for text processing and data mining applications.


C. ADA is a general-purpose, high-level programming language developed by the United States Department of Defense in the 1970s. It was designed to be a robust, reliable language for safety-critical applications. ADA is still in use today, primarily for military and aerospace applications.


E. None of the above is not a correct answer.
