Types of Programming

This document discusses types of programming languages and the programming cycle. It describes low-level languages like machine language and assembly language that deal directly with hardware. High-level languages use natural language and require compilers or interpreters. The programming cycle involves problem analysis, algorithm design, coding the algorithm, and executing the program to verify it works. Common errors include syntax errors during translation and logical errors when the program runs incorrectly.
