Different Types Of Programming Languages
What is a Program and Programming Language
Program
A set of instructions that tell a computer what to do is called program. A computer works according to the given instructions in the program. Computer programs are written in programming languages. A person who develops a jadwal is called programmer.
Programming Languages
A set of words, symbols and codes used to write programs is called programming language. Different programming languages are available for writing different types of programs. With the help of computer language, a programmer tells a computer what to do.
Explain different Types of Programming Languages.
There are two main types of computer programming languages.
· low-level languages
· high-level languages.
Low Level Languages
These languages are near to computer hardware and far from human languages. Computer can understand these languages easily. Following are two low-level languages:
• Machine Language
• Assembly Language
Machine Language
A computer language in which instructions are written in binary form (0 and 1) is called machine language. It is the only language that is directly understood by the computer.
Advantages:
a) Very fast jadwal execution
Disadvantages:
a) difficult to understand
b) difficult to learn
c) difficult to modify
d) Requires deep knowledge of hardware
e) Difficult to remove errors
Machine language is also known as first generation language.
Assembly Language
Assembly language is a low-level language. In assembly language, symbols are used instead of binary code. These symbols are easy to remember. For example Add instruction is used to add two numbers.
Assembly language is also known as second generation language
Advantages:
a) Fast execution of programs
b) easier to learn, understand and modify than machine language
Disadvantages:
a) machine dependent
b) Requires knowledge of hardware
High Level Languages
A type of language that is close to human languages is called high level language. High-level languages are easy to understand. Instructions of these languages are written in English-like words e.g. Print, Display, Write etc.
Advantages:
a) Easy to learn and understand
b) Easy to modify
c) Easy to remove errors
d) Machine independent
e) Better documentation
Disadvantages:
a) Less fast jadwal execution
b) Certain operations can be performed
