Learn ALGOL with Real Code Examples

ALGOL programs compile efficiently on supported systems

Recursion can be heavy on stack usage

Array-heavy computations may require optimization

Limited runtime libraries may require manual implementation

Optimized ALGOL compilers existed for scientific hardware

ALGOL runs locally; limited exposure to security risks

Ensure input validation for critical calculations

Safe in academic and controlled environments

Not typically used for networked applications

Compiler bugs may cause unexpected behavior

Trace variable changes manually

Step through loops for debugging

Check recursion depth

Validate array indexing

Test with sample datasets

Consistent block and procedure structure

Clear variable naming

Proper recursion handling

Readable loops and conditions

Document algorithm logic
