Introduction to programming languages


What are programming languages?

Programming language is defined as a set of instructions used to communicate with computers. It enables developers to convert algorithms “step by step problem solving” to applications run on computers.

What is the difference between programming and programming language?

Programming is a set of processes that includes analyzing the problem, writing the algorithm, writing the code, and testing the program. While programming language is just a tool, we use it to tell the computer what we want it to do.

Introduction to programming languages

What are the types of programming languages?

It is a step-by-step set of instructions for the computer to follow, making it suitable for simple tasks and algorithms. The C programming language follows a procedural programming style.

It focuses on organizing code into objects that have attributes (data) and methods (functions) that operate on the data. OOP makes the code more reusable and modular, and it makes it easier to model real-world entities and their interactions. There are some programming languages that support the OOP style, like Java, C#, C++, etc.

  • Functional Programming

 Functional programming treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing states and mutable data. It is often used for complex data processing, parallel processing, and mathematical computations. Scala, Erlang, and Lisp are popular examples of functional programming languages.

  • Declarative Programming

 It focuses on describing what should be accomplished rather than how to accomplish it. Instead of specifying a step-by-step procedure, the programmer defines the desired outcome or logic, and the programming language handles the implementation details. SQL (Structured Query  Language) is a popular example of a declarative programming language used for database querying.

Which are top programming language in 2024?

    • Java

          Here are some applications of the Java programming language: 

    • Android Applications
    • Server-Side
    • Web Applications
    •  Desktop Applications

    • C++

        It used mainly in :

    •       operating systems development
    •       embedded systems
    •       game development
    •       game engines development
    •       web browser

        The fields those python occupies are:

    •       Machine Learning
    •       Data Science
    •       Web scraping

    • JavaScript

        The most common fields that JS is being used are:

    •       Client side
    •       server side

    • Swift

           It used mainly for develop application that run mainly on apple devises “Mac os , Iwatch , Ipad            and Iphone”.

    • Go

    •       devops
    •       cloud base application
    •       server-side

    • Kotlin

    •       android application
    •       back end

    • C#

    •       cross platform app”android , IOS and windows phone”
    •       back end
    •       game development
