PL/I

Comments Off on PL/I

A blast from the past!

PL/I (Programming Language for Imaging) is a procedural programming language used for image processing and scientific computing. It was developed by IBM in the 1970s.

Here’s an example of how to print “Hello World!” in PL/I:

PROGRAM HELLO_WORLD;
   CHARACTER STRING*10 = 'Hello World!';

   WRITE(STRING);
END HELLO_WORLD.

Let me explain what’s going on:

  • PROGRAM is the keyword to start defining a program.
  • HELLO_WORLD is the name of the program.
  • CHARACTER STRING*10 = 'Hello World!' declares a character string variable STRING with 10 characters, and initializes it with the string “Hello World!”.
  • WRITE(STRING); uses the built-in WRITE statement to print the value of STRING to the console.

Note that PL/I is an ancient language, and this example is not meant to be executed or compiled. It’s just for nostalgic purposes!
