Line 503: ==What language are the algorithms in?== There are algorithms in the article which appear to be in some computer language or logical/mathematical notation. What is the language? Its syntax differs from programming languages I studied back in the day. It is not self-evident and self-explanatory. A link to some article dealing with the conventions and assumptions of the language would be helpful. None of the examples in [[Algorithm]] or in [[Algorithm examples]] are quite like the ones here, whose syntax appears to require they start with "DEF" and end with "RETURN.'' " These algorithms have "do loops" which do not include an index telling it how many times to execute the statement in the loop (such as "for i = 1 to n", or a test at the end of each loop execution to determine if all the data items have been processed.
