CONCLUSIONS AFTER USING THE PACT-1 ADVANCED CODING TECHNIQUE,

Abstract

From experience with the PACT-1 Advanced Coding Technique as used on the IBM Type 701 Data Processing Machine a comparison is made between this coding system and 'machine language' coding with reference to coding time, number and types of errors, 'debugging' time and experience needed by the coder. In addition there are suggestions as to improvements that can be made on future systems and comments substantiating decisions made while writing the specifications for the system. (Author)
