The second autocode was developed for the Mark 1 by
R. A. Brooker in 1954 and was called the "Mark 1 Autocode". Brooker also developed an autocode for the
Ferranti Mercury in the 1950s in conjunction with the University of Manchester. The version for the
EDSAC 2 was devised by
D. F. Hartley of
University of Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory in 1961. Known as EDSAC 2 Autocode, it was a straight development from Mercury Autocode adapted for local circumstances, and was noted for its object code optimisation and source-language diagnostics which were advanced for the time. A contemporary but separate thread of development,
Atlas Autocode was developed for the University of Manchester
Atlas 1 machine.

History of programming languages - Wikipediaomatically convert the language into machine code. The first code and compiler was developed in 1952 for the Mark 1 computer at the University of Manchester and is considered to be the first compiled high-level programming language. [5] [6]

In 1954, language FORTRAN was invented at IBM by John Backus; it was the first widely used high level general purpose programming language to have a functional implementation, as oppo Summary
