Provides programming languages information including types of programming and types of examples of programming languages.
Introduction to Programming:
A computer cannot understand the words spoken by us, and this warrants the need of a language, which can prompt the machine to carry the functions we desire. The pursuit of developing the perfect computer language, which started from the simple punched cards and algorithms, has taken a whole new dimension today.
The present day computer languages are immensely capable in making the computer perform varied tasks in fields like art, engineering, medical science etc. A complete programming language includes components like, the computational model, the syntax and semantics of programs, and the other pragmatic considerations that shape the language.
Programming Needs:
There are different types of computer languages developed for different needs. A generic classification language types is as follows: Logic Programming , Functional Programming, Imperative Programming and Object orientated Programming. These can be discussed in more detail under Types of Programming
Computer Programming:
A program is set of coded instructions that enable a machine, especially a computer, to perform a desired sequence of operations. Thus programming languages deal with such sets of instructions or algorithms, which can be customized according to the output, we desire from the computer. Some of the most prominent programming languages are as follows: -
