History of Programming language
What is the Computer programming?
A computer program is a collection of instructions that describe a task or set of tasks
to be carried out by a computer. Computer programing are difficult or impossible to solve a problems mor efficiently and effectively.
History of programming languages
The first programming language was invented way back in 1843 Ada Lovelace came up with the first-ever machine algorithm for an early computing machine that she wrote down on a piece of paper because no computers existed at the time! Programming languages have obviously come a long way since then but in order to understand the history of programming languages, one must first acknowledge their origin.
Ada Lovelace
Programming languages are said to be “lower” or “higher”, depending on whether
they are closer to the language the computer itself uses; 0s and 1s - are called low or
more English-like languages are called high. These languages can be considered as;
- Machine language
- Assembly language
- High-level language
Machine language
The Machine language is the language understood by a computer. Machine code is any low-level programming language, consisting of machine language instructions, which is used to control a computer's center processing unit
Example for Machine Language
Assembly language
Assembly language is a type of low-level programming language that is intended to communicate directly with a computer’s hardware. Unlike machine language, which consists of binary and hexadecimal characters, assembly languages are designed to be readable by humans.
Example for Assembly Language
High-Level Language
The invention of high-level languages in the mid 1950s transformed programming
into something quite different from what it had been. a high-level programming language is a programming language with strong abstraction from the details of the computer
