This program is a short example in Ada illustrating basic syntax, subroutines, type constructions and console I/O. Specifically, a basic pattern classifier from Machine Learning, namely a Minimum Distance Classifier (MDC), is constructed by just two core functions/procedures and about 120 lines of code. This type of classifier can successfully address linearly separable problems, here in the 2-D planar domain (X,Y). The Ada programming language is a creation of CII Honeywell Bull company in 1977-1983, under contract to the USA Department of Defense (DoD), with the goal of being the one-fits-all replacement of over 450 other languages used by DoD at that time in various embedded and real-time systems. "Ada" is the credit to Ada Lovelance (1815–1852) or "lady Ada", often referred to as the first computer programmer. The most popular Ada compilers for retro PCs came out Ada came out at the Windows 95/98 era, requiring some DPMI host or extender like DJGPP to run, mak...

This is a typical example of how LISP can be used to solve complex constrained programming tasks. The eight queens puzzle requires the placement of N (minimum) queens in a chessboard so that they do not threaten each other and at the same time control the entire grid. The definition is very simple, but the number of valid solutions explode exponentially as N becomes larger than eight. LISP was officially released in 1960, making it the third milestone programming language of the first era, along with Fortran and COBOL. The syntax of LISP is saturated with parentheses, which makes it somewhat difficult for reading but very efficient for parsing by the interpreter. At the same time it makes search tree creation very intuitive, a paradigm that was later used by several other declarative laguages like Prolog. Enable captions for more details and walk-through.

This program is a simple demonstration for illustrating how basic text file statistics can be retrieved with only 50 lines of C code. It is more or less a replacement of the standard 'wc' program available in all Unix/Linux distributions for returning the lines, words and characters of any text file given as input.

This is just a small snippet of PHP code illustrating the use of generic variables and console (server-side) scripting. Although PHP is almost entirely focused on web application development, basic syntax and features make it a general-purpose programming choice like other more popular alternatives, e.g. Python, Perl, Tcl, Bash, etc. Enable captions for more details and walk-through.
