Superplanwas ahigh-level programming languagedeveloped between 1949 and 1951 byHeinz Rutishauser,the name being a reference to "Rechenplan"(i.e. computation plan), inKonrad Zuse's terminology designating a singlePlankalkülprogram.
The language was described in Rutishauser's 1951 publicationÜber automatische Rechenplanfertigung bei programmgesteuerten Rechenmaschinen(i.e.Automatically created Computation Plans for Program-Controlled Computing Machines).[1]
Superplan introduced the keywordfürasfor loop,which had the following form (being an array item):
Füri=base(increment)limit:+addend=
