PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

To write a computer application program, needs a standard programming language. A programming language is a group of
instructions in a language understandable to programmer and recognisable by a computer machine.Programming languages can
be divided such as BASIC,COBOL(common Business Oriented Programming Language) and FORTRAN(Formula Translation Language)
are used to write an application programs.

A middle-level language

such as C is used for writing application and system
programs. A low-level language such as the assembly
language is mostly used to write system programs.
Low-level programming languages were the first
category of programming languages to evolve. Gradually,
high-level and middle-level programming languages were
developed and put to use.
