Types of programming

Languages
Types of Programming Languages:

The different types of programming languages are discussed below.

Procedural Programming Language


The procedural programming language is used to execute a sequence of statements which lead to
a result. Typically, this type of programming language uses multiple variables, heavy loops and
other elements, which separates them from functional programming languages. Functions of
procedural language may control variables, other than function’s value returns. For example,
printing
. out information.
Step 1: Start
Step2: Declare variables num1,
num2 and sum.
Step 3: Read values num1 and
num2. Step 4: Add num1 and
num2 and assign the result to
sum. sum←num1+num2
Step 5: Display sum
Step 6: Stop
Object-oriented Programming Language:

This programming language views the world as a group of objects that have internal data and
external accessing parts of that data. The aim this programming language is to think about the fault
by separating it into a collection of objects that offer services which can be used to solve a specific
problem. One of the main principle of object oriented programming language is encapsulation that
everything an object will need must be inside of the object. This language also emphasizes
reusability through inheritance and the capacity to spread current implementations without having
to changeProgramming
Scripting a great deal of Language:
code by using polymorphism.
These programming languages are often procedural and may comprise object-oriented language
elements, but they fall into their own category as they are normally not full-fledged programming
languages with support for development of large systems. For example, they may not have compile-
time type checking. Usually, these languages require tiny syntax to get started.
The Difference Between Different Programming Languages

C++ Language

The C++ language has an object oriented structure which is used in large
projects. Programmers can collaborate one program into different parts or even
one individual work on each part of the program. The structure of object oriented
also permit code to be reused many times.This language is an efficient language.
But, many programmers will disagree.
Syntax to add two numbers:
int x = 5;
int y = 6;
int sum = x + y;
cout << sum;
C Language
#include <stdio.h>
The C language is a basic programming language and it is a int main()
very popular language, particularly used in game programming, { int number1, number2, sum;
Because C language includes the additional packing of the C++, printf("Enter two integers: ");
Every programmer uses this language because it makes scanf("%d %d", &number1, &number2);
programs faster . However the value of this language gives the // calculating sum sum = number1 + number2;
reusability of C++ to get the slight increase in performance with printf("%d + %d = %d", number1, number2, sum);
C language. return 0; }
Pascal Language

Pascal language is mostly a teaching language and few industries


uses this language to write the programs. This language tends to
use keywords instead of symbols and braces in C language. So this
language is very easy for beginners to understand than a
programming language like C, C++. Borland is a compiler software
company, which is using Delphi programming language for
industrial strength. Delphi is an object oriented language of Pascal,
and presently Borland compilers only use it.
Fortran Language

Fortran language is a number crunching language and still it is


used by scientists. This language allows different sizes of
variables up to the memory limit in the machine. This language is
suitable for engineers, who have to calculate values with high
precision. Program in Fortran is inflexible and sometimes it makes
difficult to read
Java Language

The Java language is a multi platform language that’s particularly


helpful in networking. Of course, mostly this language is used on the
web with Java applets. However, this language is used to design
cross platform programs, Since it similar to C++ in structure and
syntax. For C++ programmers, Java language is very easy to learn
and it offers some advantages provided by object oriented
programming. Like reusability and it can be difficult to write efficient
code in Java. But, nowadays the speed of the Java language has
increased and 1.5 version offers some good features for easy
Perl Language
program making.
Perl language is a file management language for UNIX. But it is
more popular for its common gateway interface programming
(CGI). It is a term for programs that web servers can perform to
allow additional capabilities of web pages. Pearl language is a
method for searching text and it is used for useful server functions
and other databases, and it is very easy to pick up the
fundamentals if you have any experience in any language. As a CGi
language, web hosting services select Perl language over C++
language. Because, the web hosts can review Perl script files. Since
they are text files, when C++ is compiled.
PHP Language

The PHP language is used to design web pages and sometimes it is


also used as scripting language. This language is designed to develop
a rapid website, and as a result comprises features which make it easy
generate HTTP headers and link to databases. As a scripting language,
it includes a set of components permit the programmer to easily get up
to speed. However, it has more sophisticated object oriented features.

This is all about the differences between programming languages and few major programming
languages are discussed. And, the remaining languages like Python, Smalltalk, COBOL, C# and
Prolog are similar to the above languages which are discussed. But selecting the suitable language
for developing a program or application is very important
