Programming languages are languages created by humans to communicate with computers.

Thus we could say


that a programming language is the set of symbols and words that allow the user of a computer to give
instructions and commands for the computer to execute them.

A programming language consists of a set of syntactic and semantic symbols and rules that define its structure
and the meaning of its elements and expressions.

The process by which a computer program's source code is written, tested, debugged, compiled (if necessary),
and maintained is called "programming".

• PYTHON: Simple and easy to use. It has a large number of libraries that other programming languages don't
have.
• C: This programming language is one of the most popular among the developer community. Its efficiency
makes it a tool from which you can mix with other languages as an assembler, or directly access the
computer hardware.
• JAVA: Designed to be a multiplatform language, Java is the language from which applications are made in
Android.
• C#: This language was developed by Microsoft in early 2000. According to many developers, it is an
alternative to C and C+++, positioning itself as the best of this group. It is defined as a set of the best features
of C, C++, Java and other languages, and is mainly used for web, desktop and telephony.
• JAVASCRIPT: One of the most widely used and preferred programming languages by the worldwide
developer community. JavaScript is a web language for objects used to develop on the client side.
• Machine language: The so-called binary strings are formed with only two digits, also known as
bits (combinations of zeros and ones). They are used to write instructions, and through these
instructions the computer microprocessor understands our requests. Machine language was the
first programming language. This programming language stopped being used because of its
great difficulty and how easy it was to make mistakes when writing binary strings.

• Low-level languages: Languages of this type can create very fast programs, but they are
difficult to learn, they are specific to each processor (of each machine), and if we take the
program to another computer it will be necessary to rewrite the program from scratch.

• High-level languages: High-level programming languages are easier to learn because they use
words or commands from natural language, usually English. This is the case of BASIC, the most
popular programming language.
There are other criteria for classifying programming languages:

Classification of the programming languages according to their execution method:


• Compiled languages translate the source code of the program into machine code or object
code. Examples: C, Pascal
• Interpreted languages execute the instructions of a program line by line. They require source
code to run the program. Examples: Perl, Lisp.

Classification of programming languages according to their Programming Paradigm:


• Imperative languages are abstractions from some sequence of instructions that specify in detail
the order in which the program is executed. Examples: Fortran, Algol, Ada, Pascal, C, C++.
• Declarative languages express what the program should accomplish without prescribing how to
do it, in terms of sequences of actions to be taken. Examples: SQL, HTML, RPG.
• Functional Languages consist of a set of pre-defined functions. Examples: Lisp, Scheme,
Common Lisp, ML, CAML.
• Logic languages express tasks using formal mathematical logic. Example: Prolog.
• Object-Oriented Languages create a system of classes and objects following the real world
scheme to define objects, actions and how they communicate between objects. Examples: C++,
Java.
