What is meant by programming language?
Although the posts above hit on the answer i’ll try an simplify things if I can. Computers understand 1s and 0s (binary… lots of ons and offs) and software is made up from that alone. Problem is… we can’t understand that. Can you imagine writing software with 0s and 1s, you’d never do it. So some clever chappies have invented a set of instructions that we can understand (sometimes debatable with me lol) to tell a computer how to run. A piece of software called a compiler takes those instructions and converts it to workable software (the 0s and 1s) Other clever chappies have also tried to do the same thing trying to improve on these instructions which has given us different variations on the sets of instructions with pros and cons on using each set. These different sets of instructions are your programming languages each requiring a different compiler but capable of achieving the same final results 😀 Some you may have heard of are C++, VB (visual basic), Java. Please note though (H
