2. Types of programming language
There are many programming languages.
This is because some are better suited for writing particular types of software applications than others.
For example, there are programming languages that are particularly suitable for:
- commercial / financial applications
- scientific problems
- creating computer games
- controlling machines such as robots
- safety critical programs e.g. controlling nuclear reactors
Each language is designed to provide the programmer with the right kind of tools to do the job.
These are some of the computer languages available, you might recognise the names of some of them:
- BASIC
- FORTRAN
- C++
- PL/M
- LOGO
- C
- JAVA
- ADA
