to follow (code) in a language computers can
understand.

• A programming language is a system of


notation for writing computer programs.
• The two basic types of programming
languages:
• Low-level languages
• High-level languages

1-Machine Language(Machine Code)


• The elemental language of computers
• It is read by the computer's central
processing unit (CPU).
• It is composed of digital binary numbers
and looks like a very long sequence of
zeros and ones.
• 010110100001101101010101010

2- Assembly Language
• uses short words (mnemonics) for instructions
instead of binary numbers.
• designed to be readable by humans.
• MUL: multiplies data
• MOV: moves data
• ADD: adds data

High-level
Click languages

• Enables development of a program in a much


more user- friendly programming context.
• They are generally independent of the
computer's hardware architecture.
• Many types of high-level language exist:
• Python
• Java
• JavaScript
• C++
• C#

Compiler
Click vs Interpreter
to edit Master title style

• Programs written in high-level languages must


be translated into machine language to be
executed.
• We have two types of translator:
• A compiler translates the entire source code in a
single run, like Java, C++, C#, Swift.
• An interpreter translates the entire source code
line by line, like Python, JavaScript, Ruby.

Python
Click to edit Master title style

• Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-


purpose programming language.
• It was created by Guido van Rossum, and first
released on February 20, 1991.
• It is written in C programming language.
• While you may know the python as a large
snake, the name of the Python programming
language comes from an old BBC television
comedy sketch series called Monty Python's
Flying Circus.
