Explain The Programing Languages

A programming language allows programmers to communicate with computers by translating commands into executable instructions. There are three main types of programming languages: low-level languages like machine code that computers can directly understand; high-level languages like Python and Java that are easier for humans but require translation; and middle-level languages that are between high and low-level. High-level languages are further divided into procedural, object-oriented, and natural languages. Programming languages bridge the gap between what humans and computers can understand.

Explain the programing languages

A programming language is a computer language that is used by programmers (developers) to


communicate with computers.These languages are used to design websites, create
apps,mobile applications,develop operating systems, control spacecraft, and analyze
data. Programming languages are necessary because computers can't understand
English. Programming languages bridge this gap by helping programmers translate their
commands into something that the computer can understand and execute

Types of programming language

1. Low-level programming language

Low-level language is machine-dependent (0s and 1s) programming language. The processor runs
low- level programs directly without the need of a compiler or interpreter, so the programs written in
low-level language can be run very fast.

Low-level language is further divided into two parts -

i. Machine Language

Machine language is a type of low-level programming language. It is also called as machine code or
object code. Machine language is easier to read because it is normally displayed in binary or
hexadecimal form (base 16) form. It does not require a translator to convert the programs because
computers directly understand the machine language programs.

The advantage of machine language is that it helps the programmer to execute the programs faster
than the high-level programming language.

ii. Assembly Language

Assembly language (ASM) is also a type of low-level programming language that is designed for
specific processors. It represents the set of instructions in a symbolic and human-understandable
form. It uses an assembler to convert the assembly language to machine language.

The advantage of assembly language is that it requires less memory and less execution time to execute
a program.

2. High-level programming language

High-level programming language (HLL) is designed for developing user-friendly software programs
and websites. This programming language requires a compiler or interpreter to translate the program
into machine language (execute the program).

The main advantage of a high-level language is that it is easy to read, write, and maintain.

High-level programming language includes Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, C, C++, Objective C,
Cobol, Perl, Pascal, LISP, FORTRAN, and Swift programming language.

A high-level language is further divided into three parts -


i. Procedural Oriented programming language

Procedural Oriented Programming (POP) language is derived from structured programming and based
upon the procedure call concept. It divides a program into small procedures called routines or
functions.

Procedural Oriented programming language is used by a software programmer to create a program


that can be accomplished by using a programming editor like IDE, Adobe Dreamweaver, or Microsoft
Visual Studio.

The advantage of POP language is that it helps programmers to easily track the program flow and code
can be reused in different parts of the program

Example: C, FORTRAN, Basic, Pascal, etc

ii. Object-Oriented Programming language

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language is based upon the objects. In this programming
language, programs are divided into small parts called objects. It is used to implement real-world
entities like inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, etc in the program to makes the program
resusable, efficient, and easy-to-use.

The main advantage of object-oriented programming is that OOP is faster and easier to execute,
maintain, modify, as well as debug

Example: C++, Java, Python, C#, etc

iii. Natural language

Natural language is a part of human languages such as English, Russian, German, and Japanese. It is
used by machines to understand, manipulate, and interpret human's language. It is used by developers
to perform tasks such as translation, automatic summarization, Named Entity Recognition (NER),
relationship extraction, and topic segmentation.

The main advantage of natural language is that it helps users to ask questions in any subject and
directly respond within seconds.

3. Middle-level programming language

Middle-level programming language lies between the low-level programming language and high-
level programming language. It is also known as the intermediate programming language and
pseudo-language.

A middle-level programming language's advantages are that it supports the features of high-level
programming, it is a user-friendly language, and closely related to machine language and human
language.

Example: C, C++, language.
