Some languages have specific terms, however keyword or reserved word is the general terminology we use when referring to a programming language's primary vocabulary. That is; words that cannot be used as identifiers. However, some languages also have contextual keywords. For instance, C++ has final and override contextual keywords. These can be used as both identifiers and keywords, depending on the context. The only reason for this is that people were using these words as identifiers before they were introduced to the language (in C++11) and making them actual keywords would have broken a lot of older code.

What are words that have special meaning in a programming language called?

Keywords or reserved words.


What is the process of writing specific instructions in computer language called?

A machine code program. Machine code is the native language of the machine and the only language actually understood by the machine. However, program instructions can be written using a high-level programming language that the computer can translate into machine code using another machine code program called a compiler.

Why do you have high level programming language?

High level programming languages offer a very high ratio of machine instructions over language expressions. In other words, a few high language statements can accomplish a lot, allowing the programmer to focus on solving the specific application's problem rather than reinventing the proverbial wheel or spending time with software engineering housekeeping duties.

Why computer programming languages invented?

As a CPU only processes written in machine language (binary) programming languages, which uses words instead of numbers is the reason that programming languages were invented. It allows programmers to write application in programming language statements that then uses special software to convert the program into machine language.
