学习用VS Code编写COBOL程序

The COBOL programing language first appeared over 60 years ago. Today it still powers much of the world economy.

COBOL编程语言最早出现于60年前。 今天，它仍然为世界经济提供动力。

COBOL is often used to process the most critical data. It is one of the main languages that powers large mainframe computers. Because of its age and the mission-critical nature of its applications, it is efficient, reliable, and secure.

COBOL通常用于处理最关键的数据。 它是为大型主机提供动力的主要语言之一。 由于其年代久远和应用程序的关键任务性质，它是高效，可靠和安全的。

You may have heard about COBOL in the news lately, since it powers the core business logic of many large enterprises. And yet, many experienced COBOL developers are reaching retirement age.

您可能最近在新闻中听说过COBOL，因为它支持许多大型企业的核心业务逻辑。 但是，许多经验丰富的COBOL开发人员已达到退休年龄。

To help people interested in learning COBOL, freeCodeCamp has published a COBOL course for beginners that will teach you how to program with the language, right inside VS Code.

为了帮助有兴趣学习COBOL的人们，freeCodeCamp已为初学者发布了COBOL课程 ，该课程将教您如何在VS Code中使用该语言进行编程。

This introductory COBOL course developed by IBM will help you learn the structure of  COBOL programs, data types & variable handling, intrinsic functions, branching logic and more.

IBM开发的本入门级COBOL课程将帮助您学习COBOL程序的结构，数据类型和变量处理，内部函数，分支逻辑等。
