Thankyou for your advice on my user page! I had fixed it, I was sleepy! --[[User:Dagilpe|Dagilpe]] 23:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 
Hey I just looked over RCSNUSP/C and I like it. I'm happy to see that it looks a bit like my Java version (big case statement in a loop). I don't think we've had a lot of C activity for a while. Maybe you could change that. Good to have a loyal reader join the cause. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 14:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm gonna be using Matlab for a project coming up so I'll be learning things that may work in Octave. I just wanted to warn you that I'll probably ask you to check things before I start putting up examples in case I can do any tasks. I'm not sure how proficient I'll get, but I might be able to do something. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 01:15, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
: No problem. I am a beginner in Octave anyway! And... why can't you install Octave on your machine? --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 11:46, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
::Windows. Small hassle to install it. Once I have enough time to shop for new computer parts and install them I'll get Linux back. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 13:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

==On Poly long division==
I saw your comment when you created the task. I found the description and example to be enough to allow me to code the Python example, thanks. <br>
Strictly speaking, what's down for degree() isn't really pseudocode, but a textual description; but together with your worked example with its diagrams I was able to do the task. Thanks again, --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 19:07, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 
== [[Reports:Tasks not implemented in ALGOL 68]] ==
 
Hi ShinTakezou,
 
I spotted that you are giving [[ALGOL 68]] a spin[http://stackoverflow.com/users/354803/shintakezou]...
There are various tasks identified in: [[Reports:Tasks_not_implemented_in_ALGOL_68]], but to be honest I have "cherry picked" and done all the easy tasks, and so only the tougher ones are left to do. [OOPS sorry :-/ ]
 
FYI: There are two online manual pages:
* [https://sourceforge.net/projects/algol68/files/algol68g/algol68g-1.18.0/a68g-doc.pdf/download Algol 68G Manual - By Marcel van der Veer]
* [https://sourceforge.net/projects/algol68/files/algol68toc/algol68toc-1.8.8d/pame.pdf/download Programming Algol 68 Made Easy - Sian Leitch]
 
Or - if you prefer a hardcopy - you can try and pick up a hard cover manual like "''Informal Introduction to Algol 68''" - by C. H. Lindsey & S. V. Vander Meulen. Be sure to get the 1977 edition:
* [http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0720405041/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used www.amazon.com] - Aboout $119
* [http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Informal-Introduction-to-ALGOL-68/C-H-Lindsey/e/9780720407266/?itm=3&USRI=Informal+Introduction+to+Algol+68 barnesandnoble.com] - about $40
IItA68 is a beautiful book, and makes 'bedtime" great reading. I can highly recommend it!
 
Let me know if you have any questions.... Or join the Algol68-user mailing list at:
* https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/algol68-user
 
BTW: I you are still fond of Japanese culture and language, then you could do me a favour and try and get a copy of the Algol N implementation. I have no idea where to start, and cannot speak any Japanese. I speculate it had been "localised" to allow programming in Japanese!
* "The Japanese were also active in language design, and produced their own "ALGOL N" [AB30.3.2], a simplified form of ALGOL 68 with a simplified method of description." [Lindsey 1988], by S. Igarashi, T. Iwamura, K. Sakuma, T. Simauti, T. Simuzu, S. Takasu, E. Wada, and No. Yoneda. ALGOL-N. ALGOL Bulletin, Number 30 (February 1969), pages 38-85. ACM Digital Library
 
Good luck

==Algol language file==

==Algol68 contribution==
I spotted your [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Horner%27s_rule_for_polynomial_evaluation&diff=83930&oldid=82806 Horner's rule for polynomial evaluation] contribution... Welcome to 1968 ... :-)
 
Cheers! [[User:NevilleDNZ|NevilleDNZ]] 13:30, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
: At least until I can find easy tasks :D ... &mdash;[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 15:41, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 
:-) I have the same problem, some of the remaining tasks require extensive utility libraries.
 
You may wish to consider The [[Bitmap]] specimen, a while ago I did a couple, but I am not 100% happy with my own contribution, and one day will revisit, review, (maybe remove) and redo these:
# [[Bitmap#ALGOL 68|Bitmap]]
# [[Bitmap/Bézier curves/Cubic#ALGOL 68|Bitmap/Bézier curves/Cubic]]
# [[Bitmap/Bézier curves/Quadratic#ALGOL 68|Bitmap/Bézier curves/Quadratic]]
# [[Bitmap/Bresenham's line algorithm#ALGOL 68|Bitmap/Bresenham's line algorithm]]
# [[Bitmap/Flood fill#ALGOL 68|Bitmap/Flood fill]]
# [[Bitmap/Midpoint circle algorithm#ALGOL 68|Bitmap/Midpoint circle algorithm]]
# [[Bitmap/PPM conversion through a pipe#ALGOL 68|Bitmap/PPM conversion through a pipe]]
# [[Bitmap/Read a PPM file#ALGOL 68|Bitmap/Read a PPM file]]
 
In the mean time, you are welcome to preempt me and do/redo any of these tasks ... I believe that these tasks only require transforming ppm file, without displaying on a graphic device. Hence you can do the tasks without reference to any external library. If you do require to a graphics device, Algol 68G has the unixplot library built in.
 
Here is another candidate Task:
* [[Sutherland-Hodgman polygon clipping#ALGOL 68|Sutherland-Hodgman polygon clipping]]
(It seems to have been forgotten and dates from from March 2010)
 
Buona fortuna, 幸運を祈る。 -- [[User:NevilleDNZ|NevilleDNZ]] 14:04, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
:: The other solution that comes to mind would be to create more tasks. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 17:21, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
::: My Algol68 is still under the threshold, and I am leaving behind many langs I would like to remember a bit... Sutherand-Hodgman polygon clipping needs a lot of lang, there's only Tcl :/ ! Going to sleep for now (with one or two brand new tasks in mind) .... --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 21:57, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
