What is a Programming Language?

Programming is a set of instructions to tell a computer how to perform a task and what kind of recourses needed to perform that task.

Language is a primary mean of communication for humans. We use different types of languages in our daily life to interact with each other. In the same way we use different types of Programming Languages to interact with computers to give instructions

Basically computer system can understand only 0 and 1 which is binary language and it is impossible for us to communicate with a computer system using only 0 and 1. To overcome this problem we made Programming Languages which we can understand because these Programming Languages are written in English language. A Programming Language work as an intermediator between computer and us.

Every Programming language has set of pre-defined instructions and every word used in Programming Languages has predefined meaning and usage like every word of English language has its meaning.

Programming Languages act as an intermediate between you and computer. For example if you want to give some instructions to a computer you can’t give them directly. Here you need an intermediator to translate your language into machine language and this intermediator is a Programming Language. You can write your instructions into a Programming Language and every Programming Language has a program called Compiler or Interpreter which translate your language into machine language then machine can understand these instructions easily.
