Programming languages over the years have improved and even changed drastically in their design and capabilities. New languages are created to perform specific tasks that others cannot accomplish each year. By doing so, the creation of these new languages fill specific niches. However, the problem with computer languages is that if you want to construct an easier approach to a task or problem in another language, odds are you must give something else up to accomplish that goal. Which is why there is such a large amount of different and unique programming languages. Each of them has a specific purpose of implementation, COBOL, for example, is the primary language of business. FORTRAN is the primary language of science, PROLOG is the …show more content…
Like many modern programming languages, Lua was inspired and influenced by other previous languages. Among such influences are Scheme and Python (101 Ireusalimschy). However, Lua was not simply created as one new language, but rather, as “as the fusion of two descriptive languages, designed for the configuration of two specific applications: one for scientific data entry, the other for visualizing lithology profiles obtained from geological probes” (SPE paper). SOL, a data description language, was the first half of this fusion. What Lua inherited from SOL was its data description support, but conversely integrated that support into procedural semantics (2 Ireusalimschy). Furthermore, SOL’s ability to name and nest declarations was passed onto Lua. Syntax between SOL and Lua have minor differences but rather drastic differences in semantics (2 Ireusalimschy). And the other half of this fusion? None other than DEL, a simple language designed to describe and declare data entries in a simple way. To make the boring process of data entry easier, DEL turned each “entity” into a data structure or record that additionally included its name in a graphical metafile. DEL’s original demand for an interactive data entry language was met, but quickly the team at TeCGraf was met with more demands. Items on the wish list for DEL included Boolean variables for active/inactive input, loops, and conditional controls. As DEL became heavier and heavier, the team decided they truly needed
The high level programming languages are what computer programmers use in order to tell the computer what to do and how to do it, the basic job of every computer programmer. All programmers work to make an idea thought about on paper come to life on the digital screen. There are many types of programmers, ranging from operating systems to websites to video games, and all require a specific type of programmer whose work varies from each subject to another, however the main goal of any programmer still remains the same: bring an idea to life on the digital plane.
P4- Outline the benefits of having a variety of data types available to the programmer
Programming statements in a low-level language will be close to natural language and will use standard mathematical notation.
As engineers we're routinely gotten some information about the “best tool for the job.” More nowadays the answer is a scripting language like Perl or Ruby — and, without a wink or flinching about it. Indeed, even as meagre as ten years prior those of us who preferred scripting languages just prescribed it for little utilities or every day script work — be that as it may, increasingly nowadays scripting languages are being utilized to convey whole administrations in a SOA or WOA environment and even form complete
Programming languages are vast and diverse in their numbers. These different languages use fundamental styles of programming called programming paradigms. These programming paradigms layout the particular design approach that a program will use to solve a problem or achieve an objective. Of the many different types of programming paradigms, some of the more distinguished ones are procedural, functional, logical, and object orientated programming. Recently the object orientated languages have been rising in popularity due to their ability to easily implement large programs. There are many different object orientated programming languages (OOPLs), among them are C#, Java, Ruby, and Python. This essay will compare and contrast two of these languages: Python and Java.
Computer science can be defined as a many number of technological variables, but is primarily defined as the science and processes of information processing in computer hardware and software, as well as its applications within. Computer science is comprised of many aspects that form a larger whole, that take a practical and theoretical approach to the capabilities of computers and how they process input and output information. With computers being conceived as early as the 1830’s, their capabilities have grown exponentially throughout the course of the 20th century, with many aspects of computer science becoming commonplace for the modern consumer. For the purposes of this report, the aspects of computer science that will be covered are formal languages and artificial intelligence.
The need for more powerful and user-friendly software grows exponentially every year. This means that there is a higher demand for better quality and more versatile software. Higher quality software that is versatile and consistent was very difficult to create for developers before object-oriented programming was created. The object-oriented programming method of utilizing objects and methods has revolutionized the way programmers create new applications. By allowing objects to be reusable and flexible, this allows more time to be spent on creating meaningful coding tasks with less time coding GUI’s (Gaddis & Irvine, 2014, p. xvii). Microsoft’s Visual Basic and Oracle’s Java are object-oriented programming languages that are very powerful applications which contain many similarities while having small differences in the syntax and the usage of elements that are common to both.
1949 Von Neumann had just invented the first computer programming language. As we learned form Outliers this was a long and grueling process with many hours spent writing and changing cards to complete your program. Then two years later in 1951 Grace Hopper invented the first compiler. A compiler turns Von Neumann 's computer language into an easier form, there it can directly go into the computer without any manual work. This was amazing in the world of computer programming because of its speed and ease compared to the old language. It wasn 't until 1957 that a big change came. The first major language of computer programming was here, in the form of FORmula TRANslating system, in short FORTRAN. FORTAN was almost its own language itself for computer programmers allowing them to do things they never could have when programming. For Douglas this is an obvious advantage being born in the perfect time era. Then in 1958 John McCarthy invented a LISP processing language. What was special about this was there
The origins of computers date back to the mid 1900s. During the creation, the binary code of zeros and ones was formulated as a basic foundation of what computers can run off of. This code was used to communicate to a computer and manipulate it to assess whatever tasks need to be dealt with. As more of these problems arose, the communication between computers and humans became more complicated. Computers began growing more in fame and need. Computer engineers were faced with a problem as to how to make the connection between man and machine less complicated, thus computer languages were formed. They created a higher level language system, one that was much easier for programmers to work with compared to the binary code . Through the years, these languages developed with the complexity of computers themselves. The world was beginning to see just how important computers were for everyday life, and the need for the people who work with them were equally as needed.
Based on the output of the programs, two languages are then differentiate based on certain given comparison and evaluation criteria and concluded which of the two chosen languages is better for concurrency and simultaneously programming.
This paper is about the evolution of Object-oriented technology in software design and implementation and its role in current market for developing web based products or server side scripting. Many Object-oriented languages have come in market but among them companies prefer to use open source OO languages such as Java, C++, C# .NET, and Visual Basic .NET etc. The demand for these languages has increased because the cost of licensing is very less or nothing. As these languages are open source, it easy to find relevant libraries and source code for the developers while developing a product. The cost of the infrastructure such as development IDE’s or testing tools are also minimal or available for free. Hence all these factors
The purpose of the programming languages as Coded language to write information by programmers that a computer could understand to do what the programmer wants. A computer language is used binary ( '1 ' and '0 ') code as call the machine language that a computer can execute instructions quickly without any translator or interpreter program, but is complicated. The high level languages such as C++ and java are very simpler for use, but it need to another program to transfer a high-level code into a computer language, for this are slower. There are many of programming languages are being always developed.
C++, the object oriented language provides a standard class library that can be extended by the users, thus saving a lot of coding and debugging effort.
The CPU (central processing unit) in a computer system works by instruction which must be in binary style coding (binary is made up of 1s and 0s). The issue with binary is the complication for humans to comprehend binary and so the programming that takes place in the present day, is carried out using symbolic languages with the use of English like statements.
A compiler is a computer program that translates a computer program written in one computer language (source language) into an equivalent program written in another computer language (target language). Interpreter is similar to compiler but interpreter compiles line by line while compiler compiles as a whole. Examples: C, C++, BASIC, COBAL, etc. The C programming language has been used for last few decades for almost all the applications. Recently, the C++ with Object Oriented
