1. Programming language

   A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs. Most programming languages are text-based formal languages, but they may also be graphical. They are a kind of computer language. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning), which are usually defined by a formal language. Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard) while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common. Programming language theory is the subfield of computer science that studies the design, implementation, analysis, characterization, and classification of programming languages.

1. programming language

   A programming language is a formal language comprised of a set of instructions that produce various kinds of outputs. It is used in computer programming to implement algorithms, control the behavior of machines or to create software applications, scripts, and other types of computer software. Programming languages are used to communicate instructions to computers and they have syntax rules which define their structure and semantics rules which define their meaning.

1. Programming language

   A programming language is an artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine and/or to express algorithms precisely. The earliest programming languages predate the invention of the computer, and were used to direct the behavior of machines such as Jacquard looms and player pianos. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, with many being created every year. Most programming languages describe computation in an imperative style, i.e., as a sequence of commands, although some languages, such as those that support functional programming or logic programming, use alternative forms of description. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax and semantics. Some languages are defined by a specification document, while other languages, such as Perl 5 and earlier, have a dominant implementation that is used as a reference.
