What Is Programming

Programming involves using a programming language to instruct a computer to perform tasks. Programming languages are sets of rules that tell computers what operations to perform and come in different levels, from machine language using binary to very high-level languages that are more English-like. Common programming languages include Basic, Cobol, Pascal, C, Fortran, Visual Basic, C++, and Java. The main phases of program development are analysis, design, coding, testing, and maintenance.

What is programming

Programming refers to the act of intrusting the computer to so something for us with the help of

language.
1.2 What is a programming language A Programming language is a set of rules that provides a way of telling the computer what operation to perform (according to Capron and Johnson, 2004) 1.3 What programming language are available Before looking at a specific programming language, we need to know the levels of programming languages. Language is said to be lower or higher depending on how close they are to the language the computer itself uses or to the language people use (more English-like-high) These programming languages are generally divided into five levels or generation: i) Machine Languages ii) Assembly Languages iii) High-level Languages iv)Very High-Level Languages

Level of Language

Descriptions

Machine Language

-Ultimately the computer understand only binary number strings of 0s and 1s. -Programs that are written in these 0s and 1s represent the on and of electrical states of computer. -All other languages must be translated into machine language before executing instructions

Assembly language

Example of programming languages are like a) Basic b) Cobol c)Pascal d) C e) Fortran f) Visual Basic g) C++ h) Java

When we went to produce a program ,we need to go through a few phases . There are five main in program development;
