Programming Language
We all know that if you want to share your ideas, opinions with someone you need a specific language which should be understandable by both of you. In computer world there is language in which you can communicate with computers that language called Programming language. In other words, Developers need a language to communicate with computers.
First Programming Language
FORTRAN is the first commercially language. This language is developed in 1956 (first manual appeared in 1956 but first developed in 1954) by team John Backus at IBM. Also computer language called a programming language because it is a set of instructions, command and other syntax used to create a software program languages such as C++, Java called “compiled language”. The first programming language for a computer was Plankalkul.
What is Machine language?
Machine language is a lower-level programming language which includes binary digits (ones and zeros). Since computers are digital devices, they only recognize binary data. Like, The ASCII value for the letter “A” is 01235611 in machine code, but in the data you can see it as “A” on the screen.
What is Assembly language?
A assembly language or (assembler language) sometimes, it is low – level programming language that you can used directly to tell computer what to do. And you can say that, assembly language is almost exactly like the machine code that a computer can understand, except that it uses words in place of numbers. An assembler is a program that converts assembly language into machine code.
Visual Basic
(VB) is a third-generation programming environment from Microsoft. It is for Applications is a computer programming language developed and owned by Microsoft. With VBA you can create macros to automate repetitive word- and data-processing functions as well as generate custom forms, graphs, and reports. Businesses and organizations can use VBA to customize Excel for their unique purposes, such as pulling certain statistics or information from a spreadsheet.
Businesses as well as organizations can also use VBA externally, or in non-Microsoft applications, by applying a technology called a component object model (COM) interface that enables commands to communicate across computer boundaries.
What is Pseudocode?
Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. It is a “text-based” detail (algorithmic) design tool. The rules of Pseudocode are reasonably straightforward. Its improve the readability of any approach. The main goal of a pseudo code is to explain what exactly each line of a program should do, hence making the code construction phase easier for the programmer.
For performing any specific tasks programming languages gives a set of instructions in a specific language like (C, C++, Java, Python) and many more. Its mainly used to expand the mobile applications, Desktop applications and websites. You know that programming languages are also classified into Low – Level programming languages, High – Level programming languages & Middle-level programming languages.
Low Level Programming Languages
The Low-level programming language are closer to machine code, which could not be easily understandable by humans.
What is High-level programming language?
The High-level programming languages are closer to how human communicate. It involves words like run, order, class, request, object which we use daily in our live. On one hand high level programming language are much easier than low-level programming languages.
What is Middle-level programming language?
The Middle-level programming language is the language which lies between the low-level programming language & high-level programming language. You can say it as intermediate programming language. It is a user friendly language. It is closely related to human as well as machine language.
What is an Interpreted Language?
An interpreted language is a programming language in which you can interpreted, without compiling a program into machine instructions. Examples of interpreted languages are Perl, Python and MATLAB . Python is an interpreted language this means that it uses interpreter. An interpreter is very different from the compiler.
What is a Compiled Language?
A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers (translators that generate machine code from source code), and not interpreters (step-by-step executors of source code, where no pre-runtime translation takes place). C++ is a compiled language.
What is Rust programming?
Rust is a programming language which is syntactically same as C++. It provides good speed and better memory safety. It does not allow dangling pointers or null pointers. Rust programming language is a modern system programming language.
Now , next will discuss about the types of Programming Language that are classified are :
What is Procedural Programming ?
The procedural code is the one that directly instruct a device on how to finish a particular tasks in logical steps. Procedural Programming divided the program into procedures, which also known as routines or functions, that simply containing a steps to be carried out. In simple words, Procedural Programming language involves a set of written list of instructions to tell computer that what should be do step by step to finish your task.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Procedural Programming Language are as follows.
- In Procedural Programming technique, the memory requirement also slashes.
- You can easily tracked.
- In this program code is harder to write when it is employed.
- It is difficult to relate with real-world objects
What is Functional Programming Language?
Functional programming language is a programming pattern which is in pure mathematical style. Its follows declarative programming based model. FP is not in a statement form, its always in a expression form. It is demand is more where concurrency or parallelism is required.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Functional Programming Language are as follow
- Functional programming language allows you to avoid confusing problems and errors in the code.
- FP allows effective use of Lambda Calculus.
- Functional programming language is hard to maintain as many objects evolve during the coding.
- Functional programming paradigm is not easy, so it is difficult to understand for the beginner.
Scripting Programming Language
Scripting language also known as script, or scripting. It is interpreted language as well as it is used in many areas like on and off the web. Scripting language is used in system administration. Scripting language is used in lots of games and multimedia also. Not all programming languages are scripting languages . Such as PHP, Python & Perl, are some example.
Client side scripting languages
A client-side script is a program that is processed within the client browser. These kinds of scripts are small programs which are downloaded, compiled and run by the browser. JavaScript is an important client-side scripting language as well as widely used in dynamic websites.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Scripting Programming Language are as follow
- Scripting programming language are easy to transfer between operating system.
- Its helps to look web pages more interesting and awesome.
- Scripting programming language used by not all companies.
- Installation of interpreter becomes sometime difficult.
What is an object-oriented programming languages
Object-Oriented programming language is one of the most vital programming language which used by every developer. OOP is the concept of object & classes. This software program in easy, reusable piece of code and it can used to create individual instances of object. Such as Java, C++ are example.
Advantages and disadvantages of Object-oriented programming language?
- Object-Oriented programming language allows a parallel development.
- In OOP the coding is easier to maintain.
- Object-Oriented programming language becomes sometimes very unsuitable.
- OOP can be expensive.
What is Angular Framework?
