programming language (sh)




Language in which a computer programmer writes instructions for a computer to execute.

Some Languages, such as COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, and C, are known as procedural Languages because they use a sequence of commands to specify how the machine is to solve a problem. Others, such as LISP, are functional, in that Programming is done by invoking procedures (sections of code executed within a program). Languages that support object-oriented Programming take the data to be manipulated as their point of departure. Programming Languages can also be classified as high-level or low-level. Low-level Languages address the computer in a way that it can understand directly, but they are very far from human language. High-level Languages deal in concepts that humans devise and can understand, but they must be translated by means of a compiler into language the computer understands.
