Subject field(s)
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Programming Languages
CONT

While selection of the most appropriate programming language for a particular application is indirectly left to the programmer(s), Cobol is especially well-suited for applications that emphasize the manipulation of characters, records, files, and input/output (in contrast to those primarily concerned with scientific and numeric computations).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Internet et télématique
  • Langages de programmation
CONT

Bien que le choix du langage de programmation NCTTI le plus pertinent pour une application donnée soit laissé, indirectement, à la discrétion du programmateur, le Cobol convient particulièrement bien aux applications qui exigent beaucoup de manipulation de caractères, d'enregistrements, de fichiers et d'entrées-sorties (par opposition à celles qui nécessitent plutôt des calculs scientifiques et numériques).
