Introduction to Computer
Languages
• Understanding how we communicate with computers
• Presented by: [Your Name]
What is a Computer Language?
• - It is a set of instructions used to communicate with a computer.
• - Helps in developing software, games, and web applications.
• - Consists of programming, markup, and scripting languages.
What is a Programming Language?
• - A type of computer language used to write programs.
• - Tells the computer what tasks to perform.
• - Follows specific syntax and structure to write instructions.
Types of Programming Languages
• 1. Low-Level Languages:
• - Machine Language (0s and 1s)
• - Assembly Language (mnemonics like MOV, ADD)
• 2. High-Level Languages:
• - Easy to read and write (e.g., Python, C++)
Popular Programming Languages
• - Python: Data Science, AI, Automation
• - Java: Android Apps, Enterprise Systems
• - C: System Programming
• - C++: Game Development, High-performance Software
• - JavaScript: Interactive Web Development
How Programming Languages
Work
• 1. Write code using a high-level language
• 2. Use a compiler/interpreter to translate code
• 3. Computer executes the translated instructions
Why Learn Programming?
• - Improves logical and problem-solving skills
• - Opens up job opportunities in many fields
• - Helps in automating tasks and improving efficiency
• - Useful in web, app, software, and game development
Examples of Code (Python & C++)
• Python: print('Hello, World!')
• C++: cout << 'Hello, World!';
• - Both perform the same task using different syntax.
Fun Fact!
• - The first programming language was developed in the 1950s.
• - Ada Lovelace is considered the first computer programmer!
• - Modern coding can be done even on smartphones.
