    Programming languages are formal languages designed to communicate instructions to machines like computers. They allow programmers to create programs that precisely express algorithms and control machine behavior. Thousands of programming languages have been created, mainly for computers, with many new ones still being developed each year. Languages differ in how programs are specified, with some using imperative forms specifying a sequence of operations and others using declarative forms specifying only the desired results.

    Programming language

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    An example of source code written in the Java programming language, which will print the message "Hello World!" to thestandard output when it is compiled and executed A programming language is a formal language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly acomputer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine and/or to express algorithms precisely. The earliest programming languages preceded the invention of the computer, and were used to direct the behavior of machines such as Jacquard looms and player pianos.[1] Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and still many are being created every year. Many programming languages require computation to be specified in an imperative form (i.e., as a sequence of operations to perform), while other languages utilize other forms of program specification such as the declarative form (i.e., the desired result is specified, not how to achieve it). The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics(meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages, such as Perl 5 and earlier, have a dominant implementation that is used as a reference.
