Types of Languages

·         Low-Level Languages: A language that corresponds directly to a specific machine

·         High-Level Languages: Any language that is independent of the machine

There are also other types of languages, which include

·         System languages: These are designed for low-level tasks, like memory and process management

·         Scripting languages: These tend to be high-level and very powerful

·         Domain-specific languages: These are only used in very specific contexts

·         Visual languages: Languages that are not text-based

·         Esoteric languages: Languages that are jokes or are not intended for serious use

·         Interpreter : This is a convertor which converts high level language programme to low level language programme line by line.

·         Compiler : This is also a convertor which converts whole high level language programme to low level language programme at a time.

 

Types of High-Level Languages

Many languages have been developed for achieving a variety of different tasks. Some are fairly specialized, and others are quite general.

These languages, categorized according to their use, are:

1) Algebraic Formula-Type Processing

These languages are oriented towards the computational procedures for solving mathematical and statistical problems.

Examples include:

·         BASIC (Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)

·         FORTRAN (Formula Translation)

·         PL/I (Programming Language, Version 1)

·         ALGOL (Algorithmic Language)

·         APL (A Programming Language)

2. Business Data Processing

These languages are best able to maintain data processing procedures and problems involved in handling files. Some examples include:

·         COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language)

·         RPG (Report Program Generator)

3. String and List Processing

These are used for string manipulation, including search patterns and inserting and deleting characters. Examples are:

·         LISP (List Processing)

·         Prolog (Program in Logic)

4. Object-Oriented Programming Language

In OOP, the computer program is divided into objects. Examples are:

·         C++

·         Java

5. Visual Programming Language

These programming languages are designed for building Windows-based applications.Examples are:

·         Visual Basic

·         Visual Java

Visual C
