Computer Language – A Way to Talk to a Computer! Humans need a language like Hindi, Telugu, English, or any other regional language or just a body gesture to tell things, express feelings and to communicate with others. Have you
ever wondered how we talk to computers? Isn’t it mysterious and exciting? Human Computer A computer cannot understand human languages directly. So, we need a language to communicate with a computer. We developed several languages as a method of computer communications. Simply, the languages which are used to communicate with a computer are
called computer languages. Definition of a Computer Language A computer language is a group of instructions that are used to create computer programs. This is the brief of computer languages. The main goal is to achieve human-computer .
Types of Computer Languages Low Level Language: A Low-level computer language includes only 1’s and 0’s. This language was used in first and second generation computers. A Low level language is very easily understood by a computer but hard to understand for Humans. Low level languages are designed to interact with computer hardware, which are categorized into two types: Machine level language and Assembly level language. Computer Languages Machine Language: As discussed above, Machine level language is a type of Low level language. Machine language is considered to be the oldest computer language. Machine  language is developed by only using binary numbers i.e., 0 and 1. So, the instructions or the statements in this language use a sequence of 0’ and 1 Assembly Language: Assembly level language in computer programming has evolved with the advancements in the machine language. Assembly language uses symbols, which are popularly known as mnemonics in computer terminology to write the instructions. So,
comparatively writing a program in Assembly language is more understandable to the Human than Machine Language. Processing of Assembly Language The Assembly language code will be converted into a Machine language code with the help
of an Assembler so that the computer can understand the binary converted Assembly Language. High Level Language: High Level computer languages are the advanced development languages in the evolution of computer languages. These languages are designed to make the programming easier and less error-free.
Types of programming languages in High level languages are:
C
C++
Java
Java Script
Python
C#
PHP
Important Terms Used in Computer Languages Statement: A statement is telling a computer on how to do a desired action using words or instructions. Algorithm: Algorithm is a set of instructions written to solve a problem. It’s the logical thought process of a computer. Binary numbers: Binary numbers are a way of expressing data. The numbers 1 and 0 are called binary numbers. Computers can only understand binary language. Computers can be able to process millions of 1’s and 0’s. Coding: Do you know “what is computer code”? Coding is the process of creating computer instructions. Computer codes are also called Programs Debug: Debugging is the process of finding and removing errors from a code. Assemblar: An Assembler is a computer program designed in such a way that it converts
mnemonics to 0’s and 1’s.
