PROGRAMMING
LANGUAGES

1
YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT …
 WHAT IS A PROGRAMME?
 HIGH-LEVEL AND LOW-LEVEL LANGUAGES
 TRANSLATION PROGRAMME

2
PROGRAM
 A is a set of instruction that the computer
can understand. Since the computer can
understand only BINARY CODE all the
languages must be converted into binary
code. There are a variety of computer
languages and the one chosen depends on
the job that is being done.

3
LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE
 The machine code language and assembly
language collectively called low level
languages language.
 The language is easy to understand for the
computer but difficult for the programmer.

4
MACHINE LANGUAGES
 MACHINE LANGUAGE IS THE LANGUAGE
DIRECTLY UNDERSTOOD BY THE COMPUTER.
 It consists a series of 0s and 1s.
 All other languages must be translated into
machine code before the instructions can be
carried out unless the program is already
written in machine code.
 Machine code was specific for one particular
type of computer.
 Program written in code needs no translation
therefore it is very fast.
 It is also called Binary code.

PRACTICAL ACTIVITY

6
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE
 An assembly language is a language that uses
simple instructions such as ADD, SUB, LDA, is
used in preference to machine code, since it
is easy for the programmer to use and debug
it.
 Once it is written in assembly language it
needs to be translated by a software called
ASSEMBLER into machine code.

7
HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE
 A high level language is developed keeping
the programmer in mind rather than a
computer.
 It is not machine dependent.
 The same program can be used on various
computers with very little alteration.
 The instruction in this language are similar to
English. (which makes them easy to correct)
 The points above can also be said the
ADVANTAGES OF HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGES.

8
SOME HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGES
 COBOL – Common Business Oriented Language – 1959 It is mainly used for
business data processing.

 BASIC – Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code – J G kemony , T


E kurns – 1964 runned on 1 May 1964. It is used as a teaching language.

 FORTRAN – FORmula TRANslation – IBM – 1957 It is usesd for scientific


applictions like weather forcast.

 LOGO – Language Of Graphics Oriented it is used as a drawing teaching


software.

 C++ - Bjarne Steronstrup – 1980 It is a commercial software.

 JAVA – James gosling – 1995 It is a object oriented software.

 HTML – Hyper Text Makeup Language Used for devolpment of websites.

TRANSLATION PROGRAMS
 COMPILER: It takes instruction of high level
language in turns.

 INTERPETER: It converts a high level


language [called source code] into machine
code [called object code].

 ASSEMBLER: It translate a code written in


assembly language into machine code.
