Computer Science Lecture 4
There are thousands of languages in the world around us, and in the the digital world,
things aren't so different. There are also tons of different programming languages
making up the code that powers much of our technology.
These are just a few of the most popular languages, but there are also many, many
more. The reason for this is that all of these languages are unique and operate
differently from one another.
To further explain this, let's take a look at vehicles. There are all
different types of vehicles in the world, and most of them can get
you from point A to point B. Which one you choose, however, depends
on several factors.
Some of them might be faster than others, and certain vehicles might
take more skill or training to operate. In some instances, one
vehicle might work better than another, like if you needed to move
some bulky objects. But in a lot of cases, most modes of
transportation can get the job done, and it just comes down to what
you personally prefer.
All of these qualities about vehicles also apply to programming languages. For
example, a web developer might choose to use JavaScript because it works well
with HTML, while a video game designer might choose C++ because it can handle
more complex graphics.
