Programming language
Computer programming languages give instructions to a
computer in a language the computer understands . Programming language are quickly
and efficiently process large and complex swaths of information.
Language Types
Machine and assembly languages
A machine language consists numeric codes for the operations
that a particular computer can execute directly. The codes are strings of 0s
and 1s, or binary digits . Machine language uses some bits to represent
operations . It is difficult to read and write, and its codes vary from
computer to computer.
Algorithmic languages are used to express mathematical or symbolic computations. It can express algebraic operations in notation similar to mathematics .
FORTRAN(formula translation), designed by an IBM team. It
was intended for scientific computations. Its control structures included
conditional IF statements.FORTRAN was
designed to translate into efficient machine language.
C
The C programming language was developed by Dennis Richtie
and Brian Kernighan at the AT&T . Its
capacity to structure data and programs through the composition of smaller
units.
COBOL
COBOL (common business oriented language) has used by businesses . It uses an English-like notation—.
BASIC
. It is used easy to
learn by novices, particularly non-computer science majors, and to run well on
a time-sharing computer with many users. It had simple data structures and
notation .
Pascal uses to teach structured programming, which
emphasized the orderly use of conditional and loop control structures without
GOTO statements. Pascal was one of the most widely used languages for
programming instruction. it was used for production software as well as for
education.
Object-oriented languages is used to manage complexity in large programs .
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T, extended
C by adding objects to it . It was one
of the most important languages for both education and industrial programming .
C# was developed by Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft. C#
has a syntax similar to that of C and C++ and is used for developing games and
applications for the Microsoft Windows Operating System.
Java was designed by Sun Microsystem,Inc., a programming
language for the World Wide Web. Java programs are translated by a Java Virtual
Machine specific to each computer platform, which executes the Java program. Java
has been widely used for programming small and portable devices, like mobile telephones.
Visual Basic was developed by Microsoft to extend the
capabilities of BASIC by adding objects .Visual Basic can be used within other
Microsoft software to program small routines.
Python was open-source language developed by Dutch
programmer Guido van Rossum . Python became one of the most popular programming
languages, along with Java and JavaScript.
