 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
• A set of structured grammatical rules (syntax) for
instructing a computer to perform specific tasks.
• Programming languages can be used to create
computer programs.
• The term programming language usually refers to
high-level languages, such as BASIC, C, C++, COBOL,
FORTRAN, Ada, and Pascal.

 TYPES OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
1. Low-level Programming Language
• Machine Language – collection of binary digits or bits that the
computer reads and interprets.
• Example: Electric toothbrush

 TYPES OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
1. Low-level Programming Language
• Assembly Language
• consists of a series of instructions mnemonics that correspond to
a stream of executable instructions, when translated by an
assembler, that can be loaded into memory and executed.
• use keywords and symbols, much like English, to form a
programming language but at the same time introduce a new
problem.

• translated into machine language by a program called an
assembler.

 TYPES OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
2. High-level Programming Language
• allow us to write computer code using instructions resembling
everyday spoken language (for example: print, if, while) which are
then translated into machine language to be executed.
• Some programming languages use a compiler to perform this
translation and others use an interpreter
• Compiler – transform a program written in a high-level programming
language from source code into object code.
• Interpreter – reads the source code one instruction or line at a time,
converts this line into machine code and executes it.
