What is Programming Language? Histroy of languages.

Programming Language

we learn programming language but it is important to know what is Programming Language? what is importance of it.

In simple way we can say Programming Language is a language that is used to communicate instruction to machine .
programming language is used to create program  that  control the behavior of machine. With the help of programming language, we  can developed program, application and software the perform task on machine.

As we know that Computer knows only machine language (like Binary 0,1), and it is difficult to learn and understand for human. For Human it is easy to learn and understand the High level Language (like c,c++,java and c# etc) and computer can not understand this. So we need a  compiler or interpreter that will convert the high level language to low level language or machine language.

Programming language use to:
1. Develop software or Application
2.Develop languages
By using programming we can develop 2 types of software and these are:

i.System software- It interact with hardware like operating system, compiler, interpreter, etc.

ii.Application Software - It  interact with operating system like IDE, Microsoft office etc.

Develop Language
with the help of Programming Language we can develop another language.


There are three level of Language 

1. Low Level Language:
Example :
Assembly Language, PASCAL, etc.

2. Middle Level Language:
Example:
c, c++, COBOL etc.

3. High Level Language:
Example:
java, .Net, php etc
