** Extension library names - Algol68 has additional OPerators, constants and PROCedures that I can generate a list if you like.
There are
* Code - BEGIN ~ END or ( ~ )
* A COmment - either CO ~ CO or COMMENT ~ COMMENT or ¢ ~ ¢ (two cents worth)
Line 24:
* STRINGs - "double quotes", where """" is a strings containing 1 double quote.
* FORMATs - $ddd,g(2),l$, the tricky one is that $f(code)d$, where f(code) is indeed contains Algol68 code returning an INT.
Also bold words can be places in single quotes if bolding is not
available on a particular computer:
* 'IF' ~ 'THEN' ~ 'ELSE' ~ 'FI' - this is called quote stropping.
There are several other forms of stropping, but for simplicity you can probably ignore these.
If you want to make things really interesting, Algol68 was internationalised in
Line 36 ⟶ 40:
The ∨, ∧, ¬, ≠, ≤, ≥, ×, ÷, ⌷, ↑, ↓, ⌊, ⌈ and ⊥ characters can be found on the [[:wikipedia:IBM 2741]] keyboard with the [[:wikipedia:APL programming language#APL symbols and keyboard layout|APL]] "golf-ball" print head inserted, these became available in the mid 1960s while ALGOL 68 was being drafted.
Notes:
* binary/nibble/octal/hexidecimal literals are of the form 2r01, 4r01230123, 8r01234567, 16r0123456789abcdef respectively.
====BOLD symbols and reserved words as typically printed====
There are 61 such reserved words ( some with "brief symbol" equivalents ) in the standard sub-language:

{† Apologies to C.H. Lindsey et al. for these descriptions, they are not the
official ALGOL 68 naming conventions, rather my C-style hybrid
