Intro to Programming Programming language is a language in which develop programs program is a set of instructions - on what to do & how to do a task Computer is a dumb machine that does nothing until you tell it what to do and how to do with the help of a program. Levels of programming language ---------------------------------------- computer understands only binary language - (binary means it is made up of only two things - 0 and 1) - programming in binary language is very difficult and time consuming 1. Low level or Machine language - programming done with 0's and 1's very fast and efficient - very difficult for developers 2. Middle level language - Consists some keywords - mnemonics - we can program using mnemonics ADD, MUL, STO, MOV - little slower than low level , translation needed, time consuming a bit easier for programmer Ex. 8086 - Microprocessors 3. High level language - English like language - speed is low, translation needed...
