About this title

Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Short Code was one of the first higher-level languages ever developed for an electronic computer.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.
