Languages in Computer
Here we are with the various Computer languages used for programming in computer.There are very important for most of the Competitive exams.
- The first computer language for electronic devices was short code.
- The first of the major languages appeared in the form of FORTRAN.
- FORTRAN stands for Formula Translation system.
- FORTRAN language was designed at IBM, for scientific computing.
- The language used for programs that benchmark and ranks the world’s fastest super computers is FORTRAN.
- The name COBOL stands for “COMMON BUSINESS ORIENTED LANGUAGE”.
- The language which was referred as “the mother of the COBOL language” was FLOW – MATIC language.
- LISP stands for LIST PROCESSING language.
- LISP language was designed for Artificial Intelligence research.
- The first language to have format grammar was ALGOL.
- ALGOL mean ALGORITHMIC Language.
- ALGOL is a high level language designed specially for programming Scientific Computations.
- Pascal language was named in honor of Blaise Pascal.
- Pascal language was developed by Niklans Wirth.
- A small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices is Pascal.
- A general purpose programming language which was developed by Dennis Ritchie was ‘C’ language.
- C++ language was known as Object Oriented Programming or OOP.
- C++ is most after used in simulations, such as games.
- C++ is sometimes called a hybrid language.
- One of the preferred programming languages to develop professional applications is C++.
- Ada is a structured, statically typed, wide spectrum, object oriented high level computer programming language.
- Ada is an international standard.
- CORAL stands for Computer On – line Real – time Applications Language.
- Coral 66 is a general purpose programming language based on ALGOL 60.
- Coral is specifically intended for real time and embedded applications.
