Introduction to Programming Languages
What are They? Why are They Important?
Programming languages are sets of instructions that They are essential for building software, websites,
tell computers what to do. They bridge the gap apps, and countless other technologies that power
between human thought and machine execution. our modern world.
High-Level vs. Low-Level
Languages
High-Level Low-Level
Closer to human Closer to machine
language, easier to language, more complex,
understand, focus on hardware-oriented, used
logic, less hardware- for system programming,
dependent, examples: examples: Assembly
Python, Java. language, C.
Compiled vs. Interpreted Languages
Compiled Languages Interpreted Languages
Entire code is translated into machine code before Code is executed line by line, more flexible for
execution, faster execution, examples: C++, Go. development, often slower, examples: Python,
JavaScript.
Paradigms of Programming
Procedural Object-Oriented
Focuses on step-by-step Organizes code into objects
instructions, breaking down with data and methods,
problems into sequences of promoting modularity and
commands. reusability.
Functional
Treats code as a series of
functions, emphasizing
immutability and pure
functions.
Popular Languages and their Applications
Python Java
Versatile, widely used for web development, data Platform-independent, popular for enterprise
science, machine learning, and scripting. applications, mobile apps (Android), and web
development.
Choosing the Right Language
Project Requirements
1
Consider the project's scope, complexity, and intended platform.
Learning Curve
3 Evaluate the language's learning complexity and
available learning materials.
The Future of Programming Languages
Growing use of AI and machine learning will drive new Quantum computing will revolutionize how we write
language innovations. and execute programs.
