What is a computer language?
Computer language is a "language" composed of formal syntax and semantics that allow users to communicate instructions to computer systems. Programming languages are by far the most common examples of computer languages, so the terms "computer language" and "programming language" are often used interchangeably. The computer cannot work with human language and in most cases one cannot work effectively in a computer binary, so it is necessary to language a higher level to allow programmers to provide instructions to computer systems. There are several types of computer languages. Different programmers decide to use one or more languages due to personal preferences, specific abilities of the language and the requirements of the project.
Syntax and semantics or structure, and meaning are two defining computer language characteristics and can be compared to grammar and vocabulary of human languages. Different programming conditions must be placed in particular to order and marked with specific punctuation andgaps that need to be understood by a computer. In general, these restrictions in computer language are much stricter than in human languages. Human language can often be understood even in problems with the use of grammar and words, but the interpretative forces of computers are relatively limited; Even minor gap problems will lead to an error message in many languages because the computer will not be able to follow the instructions as stated.
human languages are intended to allow individuals to communicate with each other. This may include discussion, command, questioning, statements and many other forms of communication. The purpose of computer language, on the other hand, is generally to provide explicit instructions for a computer to follow, so such languages are generally necessary in nature. However, some computer languages are Based primarily about the use of logical expressions or mathematical formulas. Reduction of computer language to mathematical or logical expressions canTo help reduce the possibilities of side effects that may result from some imperative expressions, but can also make programming for those who do not have extensive mathematical skills.
Computer languages are modified and developed over time to better suit the needs of their users and keep up with technological progress. Modifications include changes in syntax and semantics, as well as increasing and supplementing overall functionality. For example, a modern computer language can be updated from an older version to use multiple core processors. Languages are also optimized for programming applications for mobile devices.
