	'''Nord Programming Language'''~~, commonly abbreviated~~ '''NPL''', ~~was~~ a [[programming language]] by the Norwegian [[minicomputer]] manufacturer [[Norsk Data]]. It shipped as a standard component of the operating system [[~~SINTRAN~~ III]].		'''Nord Programming Language''' ('''NPL'''), is a [[Procedural programming\|procedural]] [[programming language]] by the Norwegian [[minicomputer]] manufacturer [[Norsk Data]]. It shipped as a standard component of the [[operating system]] [[Sintran III]].

	The language was also used to implement ~~SINTRAN~~ III~~. I.e.~~ the core and file system of ~~SINTRAN~~ ~~III was~~ written in NPL. ~~The NPL compiler~~ was ~~also written in~~ NPL and some core applications ~~was~~ early on ~~written~~ in ~~NPL~~ ~~until~~ [[PLANC]] ~~came~~ ~~and~~ linker and other software ~~was~~ rewritten in PLANC.		The language was also used to implement Sintran III: the core and [[file system]] of which are written in NPL, as was the NPL [[compiler]], and some core applications early on, until the release of [[high-level programming language]] named [[PLANC]]. Then, the [[Linker (computing)\|linker]] and other software were rewritten in PLANC.

	The NPL compiler was also special in that it did not ~~produce~~ object code as most compilers do. Instead it ~~produced~~ ~~assembler~~ code which then had to be assembled using the [[Norsk Data Assembler]].		The NPL compiler was also special in that it did not emit [[object code]] as most compilers do. Instead it emitted an [[intermediate representation]], in the form of [[assembly language]] code, which then had to be assembled using the [[Norsk Data Assembler]].

	The registers of the CPU were available in NPL as predefined variables. Thus ~~you~~ could ~~write~~:		The registers of the CPU were available in NPL as predefined [[Variable (computer science)\|variables]]. Thus could be written:

	X + T =: A		X + T =: A

	and the compiler would ~~generate~~:		and the compiler would emit:

	COPY SX DA		COPY SX DA
	RADD ST DA		RADD ST DA

	Functions could be declared with multiple entry ~~points~~:		[[Subroutine\|Functions]] could be declared with multiple [[entry point]]s:

	FUNC FUN1, FUN2		FUNC FUN1, FUN2
Line 26:		Line 26:
	END		END

	FUN1 could be called to set T to 1 before falling into FUN2 or T could be set to something else and call FUN2. If T register specified which file handle to write to then either FUN1 could be called to always output to terminal or T could be specified to handle a file ~~itself~~ in T and call FUN2 to output to that file.		<code>FUN1</code> could be called to set <code>T</code> to <code>1</code> before falling into <code>FUN2</code> or <code>T</code> could be set to something else and call <code>FUN2</code>. If <code>T</code> register specified which file handle to write to, then either <code>FUN1</code> could be called to always output to terminal or <code>T</code> could be specified to handle a file in <code>T</code> and call <code>FUN2</code> to output to that file.
