Languages
Two types of languages

Natural: Speak by common people e.g English..

Formal: Designed by people for specific purpose


e.g 3+3, H2O…

Both languages have syntax


Languages (cont.)

Syntax: tokens and structure.

Tokens: basic elements of language e.g numbers, symbols


etc.

Structure: the way tokens are arranged e.g 3+3 and +3++3

Parsing: understanding meaning of a sentence using tokens


and structure is.
Tokens, Structure and Parsing common in formal and
Natural languages
Languages.. (Differences)

AMBIGUITY REDUNDANCY LITERALNESS

PROGRAMS: UNAMBIGUOUS AND


LITERAL, Can entirely be understood
Program

A sequence of instructions: how to


perform a computation

input, Output, Math, Conditions,


Involves: Repetition

All complex problems are broken into smaller


subtask and further subtask until solved with
basic instructions.
Programming Languages
Programming languages: formal languages

Express computations.

Instruct machines.

High Level and Low Level languages (Machine Language or Assembly


Language)

Computers can only execute Low Level Language programs.

So High Level language program needs extra processing,


Extra time , More Slower
Programming Languages
(cont.)

High Level Languages have extra benefits

Easy to program (more close to human)

Take less time to program

Portable
Programming Languages (cont.)
●
Two programs process high level language to low level language

Python
High Level Programming language , was created
in 1991 by Guido van Rossum.

Interpreted language & Dynamically typed

Simple and close to English syntax

Programs with fewer lines, than other


programming languages
Debugging

Process of tracking
A program may have
and correcting them
Bugs.
is Debugging.

Runtime Error
Syntax Error
(Exceptions)

--Debugging is tough,
Semantic Error challenging but very
Interesting. ;)
