Write the program down on paper, then type it in or punch cards.
Since I'm old, I remember writing FORTRAN -- it was all caps back then -- programs in my dorm room and then going down to the computer "room" and accessing the Dartmouth Time Sharing System to type it in and run it.
- beachy 3y agoWe had a single apple II at our school. It was responsible for me failing most of my classes and getting into programming. Since there was only a single machine, mostly we had to submit our code on cards. Not quite punch cards with chads but an optical equivalent when you marked the hole with a sharpie.
