WHAT IS A
PROGRAMMING
LANGUAGE?
It is the third category of computer software
which is used by programmers to write programs,
scripts, and instructions which can be executed
by a computer.
High-level languages are also easier to understand since their code uses some English-
type words.
In order to execute 3GL programs, the source program must be translated to its binary
form using an interpreter or compiler.
