Programming Language
Programming language, puter science, are the artificial languages used to write a sequence of instructions (puter program) that can be run by puter. Similar to natural languages, such as English, programming languages have a vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. However, natural languages are not suited for puters because they are ambiguous, meaning that their vocabulary and grammatical structure may be interpreted in multiple ways. The languages used to puters must have simple logical structures, and the rules for their grammar, spelling and punctuation must be precise.
Programming languages vary greatly in their sophistication and in their degree of versatility. Some programming languages are written to address a particular kind puting problem or for use on a particular model puter system. For instance, programming languages such as FORTRAN and COBOL were written to sole certain general types of programming problems —FORTRAN for scientific applications, and COBOL for business applications. Although these languages were designed to address specific categories puter problems, they are highly portable, meaning that they may be used to program many types puters. Other languages, such as machine languages, are designed to be used by one specific model puter system, or even by one puter in certain research applications. The monly used programming languag
