'''Short Code''' was one of the first higher-level languages ever developed for an [[electronic computer]].<ref name=Sebesta>Sebesta, W.S Concepts of Programming languages. 2006;M6 14:18 pp.44. ISBN# 0-321-33025-0</ref> Unlike [[machine code]], Short Code statements represented mathematic expressions rather than a machine instruction.
Short Code was proposed by [[John Mauchly]] in 1949 and originally known as Brief Code. William Schmitt implemented a version of Brief Code in 1949 for the [[BINAC]] computer, though it was never debugged and tested. The following year Schmitt implemented a new version of Brief Code for the [[Univac]] I where it was now known as Short Code (also Short Order Code). A revised version of Short Code was developed in 1952 for the Univac II by A. B. Tonik and J. R Logan.<ref>Schmitt, William F. The UNIVAC SHORT CODE.
