On Sat, 06 Apr 2024, you asked me about PL/I (Programming Language One). I explained that it is a procedural, imperative computer programming language initially developed by IBM. It is designed for scientific, engineering, business, and system programming. PL/I has been in continuous use by academic, commercial, and industrial organizations since it was introduced in the 1960s. The language syntax is English-like and suited for describing complex data formats with a wide set of functions available to verify and manipulate them. PL/I supports recursion, structured programming, linked data structure handling, fixed-point, floating-point, complex, character string handling, and bit string handling. PL/I is a block-structured language, consisting of packages, procedures, statements, expressions, and built-in functions. Programs written in PL/I are made up of blocks, which can be either subroutines or groups of statements.

Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Australia beat India by 21 runs in the third men’s one-day international.
