Why programming language is invented?

Answer 1

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. (Gaddis, Tony, Irvine, Kip; Starting out with visual basic, 2005)

Answer 2

Programming languages simply make it easier to program computers. Computers are only able to understand very simple instructions, and programming languages translate complicated, abstract instructions into much simpler ones. It's a little bit like the difference between a recipe book saying 'open the cutlery drawer; get a desert spoon; close the cutlery drawer; open cupboard no. 1; get the sugar; check to see whether the sugar is open already; if not, open the bag of sugar; put spoon in sugar; get sugar; put sugar in bowl...' or simply being able to say, 'put a desert spoonful of sugar in the mix'.

Answer 3

So you at least stand a chance of understanding programming, that is if you do your own work and not ask for the answer.

Do not ask for the answer that is cheating and all you relay do is cheat yourself.

If you get stuck on a point of programming or do not understand something then ask. I will help you as will others.

Answer 4

In programming language, simplicity is one of the primary principles. Other principles include automation, and avoiding arbitrary sequences when possible.
