Computer Programming 1

The document defines key terms related to computer programming and programming languages. It discusses that a computer program is a list of instructions that tell a computer what to do and are stored as files. Computer programming involves writing code to solve problems. There are different types of computer languages including high-level languages like Python and Java, and low-level languages like assembly languages and machine code. Programming languages can be classified based on their level, such as declarative, high-level, assembly, and machine languages. Major applications of programming languages include scientific, data processing, text processing, artificial intelligence, and systems programming.

TASK SHEET 1.1

Title:ACT 1

Task 1 .Define the following

A computer program is a list of instructions that tell a computer what to do. Everything a
computer does is done by using a computer program. Programs stored in the memory of a
computer ( " internal programming") let the computer do one thing after another,even with
breaks in between. A computer program is stored as a file on the computer's hard drive.
When the users runs the program,the file is read by the computer,and the professor reads
the data in the file as a list of instructions. Then the computer does what the computer tells it
to do.

B COMPUTER PROGRAMMING is a way of giving computers instructions about what they


should do next. These instructions are known as code and computer programmers write
code to solve problems or perform a task

C COMPUTER LANGUAGE computer language is a method of communication with a


computer. Types of computer languages include: Construction language, all forms of
communication by which a human can specify an executable problem solution to a
computer.

D PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE programming language is a formal language comprising a


set of strings that produce various kinds of machine code output. Programming languages
are one kind of computer language, and are used in computer programming to implement
algorithms. Most programming languages consist of instructions for computers.

Task 2 .What are the classification of a programming languages?

Programming languages can be divided into two different levels: High-level Languages –
Python, Visual Basic, Java, C, C++, SQL and many more. Low-level Languages –
Hardware/Processor-specific assembly languages and machine code.

Task 3. What are the level of programming languages?

a Declarative Language
b High-level Language
c Assembly Language
d Machine Language
Task 4 . What are the major application of programming languages?

a Scientific Application
b Data Processing Application
c Text Processing Application
d Artificial Intelligence Application
e Systems Programming Application
