COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -A programming language is a formal language designed to communicate instructions to a computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -A programming language is an artificial language that can be used to control the behaviour of a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages, like human languages, are defined through the use of syntactic and semantic rules, to determine structure and meaning respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -All programming languages, like Java, C, and Python, are formal languages. The patterns of ones and zeros that make up the machine code of a processor also is a formal language. Compilers translate from one formal language (like C) into another (the machine language of the processor).

Detailed explanation-4: -C and C++ Both languages are widely used in computer science and programming. C and C++ developers can make use of compilers for a wide variety of platforms, making applications developed in these languages largely transportable. Both C and C++ are considered high-performance languages.
