Programming Concept

The document discusses different types of programming languages. It begins by defining a program as a set of instructions written in a computer language to tell a computer what tasks to perform. It then covers machine language as the lowest-level language understood directly by computers. Assembly language and high-level languages like BASIC and COBOL are also discussed. Interpreters and compilers are described as translating between high-level languages and machine code. Advantages like ease of use and independence from hardware are compared to disadvantages like need for translation and slower execution for high-level languages.

PROGRAMMING CONCEPT

BY: SUSHAL AWALE AND RAJIT PRADHAN


PROGRAM

 A SET OF INSTRUCTIONS
WRITTEN IN COMPUTER
LANGUAGE
 INSTRUCTIOS ARE STORED IN
FILES AND THEY TELL YOUR
COMPUTER TO PERFORM TASKS
Programming language

 Consists of a set of character,


symbols, and rules that allow a user
to write programs to communicate
with computers
 The language which is used to
write program is called
programming language
Classification of programming language

 Computer have their own language


in combination of zero and one
which is called binary language
 There are three types of
programming language. They are:
 Machine language
 Assembly language
 High level language
Machine language

 The first language of computer


was binary language, which is
known as machine language
 Was used in first generation
computers
 It has only two letters 1 and 0
Advantages of machine language

 Machine language is only a


language directly understood by
computer
 A program developed using a
machine language becomes
extremely fast science no
conversion is required
Disadvantages of machine language

 Science machine language


depends upon the architecture of
a computer, programmers must
have knowledge of hardware
 It is time-consuming and tedious
task to modify the program
written in a machine language
Assembly language

 Used in second generation


computers
 Uses mnemonic codes for each
machine instruction, which makes
it easy for the programmer to
remember or write the
instructions
 Was developed in 1950s
Advantages of assembly language

 It is easy to understand since it


uses symbols and mnemonic
codes
 It is easy to find errors since it
uses mnemonic codes
 It is faster than other laungages
Disadvantages of assembly language

 It is also machine dependent


language
 It take more time to execute
programs than other machine
code programs
 Programmer must have
knowledge of hardware
High-level language

 It was developed in third


generation computer in early
1960s
 They are also known as 3GL(Third
Generation Language)
 Examples of 3GL are:- BASIC,
COBOL,etc
interpreter

 It translates high level language


into machine language
 It translates 1 statement at a
time
compiler

 It also translates high level


language into machine language
 It translates whole program at a
time
Advantages of high-level language

 They are easy to learn and use


 They are machine independent
 It is faster to write programs in
high-level language
Disadvantages of high-level language

 it needs language processor


 Sometime it cannot completely
control hardware
 It take more time than assembly
language and machine language
Fourth generation computer

 4GL is closer to human languages


 It is used to design application
software
 Examples:- SQL, Oracle,etc
Advantages of 4GL

 Easy to write programs than other


languages
 Software and be designed in less
time
 Ready made buttons are available
Disadvantages of 4gl

 Requires high resources


 Program cannot execute in low
configuration machine
