Numerical Turing

ABSTRACT

Numerical Turing is an extension of the Turing programming language. Turing is a Pascal-like language (with convenient string handling, dynamic arrays, modules and more general parameter lists) developed at the University of Toronto [4]. Turing has been in use since May, 1983, and is now available on several machines.
