Chapter 1, Problem 4PS
Explanation of Solution
Single language for all
Even though idea of one programming language for all the programming domains seems lucrative but it is not supported much.
- There are different domains like Business computing, scientific computing,
artificial intelligence applications, system programming, graphics and GUI programming and others and there exist specialized programming languages for these domains. - As we know that, one particular language cannot incorporate in it all the features that would be required for each and every domain.
- Even though if some language comes with all such features, it will be very difficult to learn, apply and maintain.
- Programming languages with large number of features or constructs is very difficult to learn for a programmer.
- So, what programmers do is they learn only the subset of the language which is required for the current project.
- But this causes a problem in readability as if they are given someone else’s code to maintain, and that person had learnt and used different subset of the same language then the our programmer will be in problem...
