Meaning • A vocabulary and set of grammatical rules for instructing a computer to perform specific tasks. • Each language has a unique set of keyword (words that it understands) and a special syntax for organizing programinstruction. • While simple compared to human languages, are more complex than the languages the computer actually understands, called machinelanguages
Example of programming language:- COBOL FORTRAN Pascal C++ C ADA
