algorithms
I would like to generate an algorithm with the algorithmic package which does not show the annoying closing statements when I typeset it. I have done this before but have now forgotten how to do it. Specifically,
\FORALL Natural numbers N
\STATE N=N-1 !
\ENDFOR
I'd prefer that the final \ENDFOR statement not show up after typesetting as this just needlessly chews up space.
There doesn’t seem to be a way of defining procedures in algorithms but you can use an algorithm environment with an appropriate \caption that names your algorithm.
Personally, though, I would switch to the superior algorithmicx package that defines a \Procedure macro:
\begin{algorithm}
\Procedure{recurse}{$x$}
\If{$x=1$}
\State\Return{$1$}
\Else
\State\Return{\Call{recurse}{$x-1$}}
\EndIf
\EndProcedure
\end{algorithm}
This is view of the original algorithm:
Aside from duplicating the algorithm (with heading and content), since your were particularly interested in the numbering, the following does something similar using PGF/TikZ and algorithmicx. Moreover, I've used the following two answers to obtain the desired result:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newcommand*\circled[1]{\tikz[baseline=(char.base)]{%
\node[shape=circle,draw,inner sep=1pt] (char) {#1};}}

\algrenewcommand{\alglinenumber}[1]{\scriptsize\circled{#1}}% circled line numbers
\begin{algorithmic}[1]% Taken from the algorithmicx package documentation
\Procedure{Euclid}{$a,b$}
\State $r\gets a\bmod b$
\While{$r\not=0$}
\State $a\gets b$
\State $b\gets r$
\State $r\gets a\bmod b$
\EndWhile\label{euclidendwhile}
\State \textbf{return} $b$
\EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\end{document}

From the
algorithmicmanual:So, if you load the package with
there won't be any closing statements.
