Introduction to Programming Languages

A language is defined as the way of communication between two persons. Therefore, computer-programming language is defined as a way of communication between user and the computer. The instructions are given to the computer to perform a specific task. These instructions are given to the computer according to the rules of programming language.

Computer programming languages are used to prepare computer programs or software. Early computer programs were prepared directly in machine language i.e. in binary code. It was very difficult to prepare program in machine code. Today, there re several programming languages, each programming language has its own rules for Writing the program. Each language is also used for specific purpose. For example, Fortran is used for scientific purposes, Cobol for business solutions, Ada for defense applications etc.

Programming languages are divided into two types:

1. Low-level languages
2. High-level languages
