What Are Computer Programming Languages?

Computer programing languages allow us to give instruction to a computer in a language the


computer understands. Just as many human-based languages exist, there is an array of computer
programming languages that programmers can use to communicate with a computer. The portion
of the language that a computer can understand is called a “binary”. Translating programming
language in to binary is known as “compiling”. Each language, from C language to python, has its
own distinct features, though many time there are commonalities between programming language.

iii. High- level languages (HLL)- there are many HLLs that require varying levels of programming
Skills, from a hobbyist or student levels to those that demand a high level of technical ability.
