Programming involves writing a sequence of instructions to perform a specified task on a computer. Programming languages use formal languages to communicate instructions to machines and express algorithms precisely. Ada Lovelace was credited as the first computer programmer in 1843 for writing an algorithm for the analytical engine, an early mechanical computer. Common programming languages that were developed include FORTRAN in 1957, LISP in 1959, COBOL for business applications, and Pascal.

1. INTRODUCTION
TO
PROGRAMMING

2. A computer program, or just
a program, is a sequence
of instructions, written to
perform a specified task with
a computer

3. the process of writing
computer programs.

4. Is a formal language
designed to communicate instructions
to a machine, particularly a computer.
Programming languages can be used to
create programs that control the behaviour of a
machine and/or to express algorithms precisely.
