Beginner's Overview: What Is a Programming Language?
\>>Programming is nothing but a set of instructions is called a program. the program is designed by the programmer. basically the program languages are C, C++, Java, Python, .Net, Go, r ,etc...these are all programming languages in software field. these programs (software's) are communicate with the machines by using binary code this is called programming language.
What is software ?
Software is simply defined as set of programs is called software. as per IT industry software is a digitalized and automated process.
Digitalized\>>>Eg :- Digital watch, tv, laptops, etc...
Automated\>>>Eg :-Washing machine, air conditioner, etc....
What is C-Language ?
C is a high level language and with low level features. Hence it is called middle level language.
C is a compiler based programming language.
C is a procedure oriented programming language (pop's)
C is a general based programming language.
Why C is called middle level language ?
Generally the C a high level language with low level features . in c-language the low level features are used to design system software's and the high level features are used to design a application software's. Hence it is called middle level language.
Why C is a compiler based programming language ?
why c is the complier based programming language the main reason is the compiler works as a translator that is the reason C is called compiler based programming language
What is translator ?
Generally the translator works to translate one language to another language that is called translator. In programming language the programmer giving the program English language but the machine not able to understand English language the machine can understand only binary code. the translator to covert English language to binary code this is called translator.
Why C is procedure oriented programming language (pop's) ?
In olden days means before C language the entire Programming write a single program that is called monolithic programming paradigm. In this structure very difficult to identify the errors and it having a low efficiency. To overcome these problems to interduce pop's (procedure oriented programming language) this structure is used for the entire program (or) big program divided into small pieces of code. then it can be easy to identify the errors and it having a more efficiency. hence c is a program collection of procedures this is called procedure oriented programming language.
