Which one is used for complex scientific calculation? Correct Answer FORTRAN

The correct answer is Fortran.

Key Points

  • BASIC
    • It is called Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
    • It was developed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz.
    • It originally used numbers at the beginning of each instruction (or line) to direct/instruct the computer in what order to process the instructions. 
  • COBOL
    • It is called Common Business Oriented Language.
    • It is used for writing application programs and we cannot use it to write system software.
    • The code of COBOL must be converted into machine code using a compiler.
  • Fortran
    • It was originally developed by a team at IBM in 1957 for scientific calculations.
    • It also allows the compiler to generate efficient binary code.
    • It is a scientific computing language.
    • It is also used in organizations such as weather forecasters, financial trading, and engineering simulations.
  • Pascal
    • It was originally developed in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth and is named after the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal.
    • It is a procedural programming language that supports structured programming and data structures to encourage good programming practices.
