Computer Programming & Languages

Computer Programming & Languages


Computer programming & programming languages. Computer programmers develop programs, definable as sequences of instructions, telling how to operate the computer. Without programs, computer hardware is virtually useless. Operating systems process input/output requests, run applications, and connect the individual computer to a network. Applications do specific tasks such as word processing, payrolls creation, mechanic design, and more. Programs must be written in detail, aptly named a programming language. Elementary processes are low-level languages, extensive capabilities in programs require a high-level language. Programming consists of requirements definitions, design specification, coding, testing, and maintenance. Each step of the program must be calculated carefully to perform that particular function.
