FORTRAN (Formula Translation) was the first high-level programming language designed for scientific and engineering computations. It was developed in the 1950s by IBM for their mainframe computers. FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation) is considered to be the first successful high-level programming language and was introduced in 1957. It is a procedural language used for scientific and engineering applications. COBOL and Pascal were also introduced in the 1950s and 1960s, respectively, but FORTRAN preceded them. C++ was developed in the 1980s and is an object-oriented language, not a procedural language.
