about computer languages

2. PROGRAM
A program is a set of instructions,
which when executed, makes the
computer work in a manner.

3. programming language
A programming language 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.

4. Some programming languages
Action
Cool
Cynthol
Cyclone

languages

6. HIGH LEVEL
High level programming
Languages are closer to
English and thus easier to
Learn but slower than
Machine level languages.
ASSEMBLY LEVEL
uses coadings
MACHINE LEVEL
It is the language spoken by computer

7. LOW LEVEL LANGUAGES
• Machine oriented languages
• Cannot be used easily on other computers.

8. Machine level languages
• Language which uses binary digits

9. Assembly level languages
• These languages use letters and symbols
instead of binary digits.
• They are translated into machine level
languages

10. High level languages
• Easier to understand
• Not dependent on any particular computer
machine

11. ADVANTAGES OF HLL
• Understandability
• Debugging
• Portability

12. EXAMPLES OF HLL
•

C
C++
JAVA

13. PROCESSING OF COMPUTER
PROGRAMES
