Question

What is Computer programming and the types of computer Languages?

Answer 1

Programming is about using coded language to instruct machines and devices to perform tasks. The basis of all code is binary, a language composed of 1's and 0's. This is called machine code and it is what the actual computer or device is responding to. However people cannot easily read such a language and so you have various human friendly codes that mediate between the person and the machine.

In the history of languages you have such languages as Cobol and Basic, Pasqual, GFA Basic, and then the more modern C, and C++. Also relatively modern are what is called object oriented laguages such as Visual Basic. Very simple and easy to understand, object laguage is ideal for the amateur. An excellent example of an easy to learn code language would be the Actionscript that is used to run Flash programs.

Answer 2

Computer programming is the process of writing a series of instructions for a computer to follow in order to perform a specific task or function.

A computer program is equivalent to cooking recipe, except that the instructions are for a computer rather than for a cook or chef.

The program is written in a language that the computer can understand or use.
