This document contains information about Marcellino Ryan Christian's programming languages class assignment. It includes questions about why programming is important, the programming languages known by different programmers, and a request to a manager to update department resources. Key details include: 1) Most programmers know C, C++, and Java but not Assembler, and two know BASIC which is declining. 2) A letter requests help updating older computers and CPUs so they can efficiently convert programs to machine code. 3) The writing task has Marcellino ask his manager "Mr. Dwyn" to update resources since they lack what is needed to create imaginary names for employees and managers.

Programming Languages

A. Starter Task
Instruction: Answer the following question.
❖ Why is computer programming becoming more important?

Answer :

Because you can easily interact with computers and can also make smarter machines with

programming languages.
❖

B. Reading Task
Instruction: Read the letter below and then answer the questions.

Mr. Daniels,
As the head of the computer programming department, I feel that we need to update the
department’s resources. This includes our programmers. Most of our programmers are
comfortable with the C, C++, and Java computer Languages. We even have one
programmer who can use C#. But we don’t have anyone proficient in Assembler. I think
we need some programmers who are familiar with it. That way, we can translate between
programs more easily.
In addition, we have two programmers who specialize in BASIC. This language is in
decline and will probably be phased out soon.
Some of our machines are getting older, too. A few computers need their compilers and
linkers updated. Otherwise, they’ll never be able to convert to machine code efficiently.
One of our older CPU’s cannot multi-thread very well. As you know, the programming
department is very important to this company’s future. Please help us stay updated.
Thanks,
Sarah Jennings
