A Programming language helps us communicate with machines particularly with computers. Different lines of code or instructions define and control the behavior of machine. The first programming language I was introduced to was BASIC(Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). I was so thrilled with things one could achieve by mastering programming language. Learning C and C++ was such a prideful moment as those were the most popular languages during 2000-2002.
Programming languages can be classified into several types depending on number of factors. The most common classification is as given below:
In addition to above classification methodology one can also look at programming language from the perspective of it's application. For example PHP is a server side scripting language as it is used to communicate with the server and HTML is a Mark up language. A more detailed classification can be found here.Programming languages can be classified into several types depending on number of factors. The most common classification is as given below:
- Procedural programming language: Example: PASCAL, C, ADA
- Structured programming language: Example: BASIC, FORTRAN
- Object oriented programming language: C++,C#, Java
