    Language in which a computer programmer writes instructions for a computer to execute. An artificial language used to write instructions that can be translated into machine language and then executed by a computer. Some languages, such as COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, and C, are known as procedural languages because they use a sequence of commands to specify how the machine is to solve a problem. Others, such as LISP, are functional, in that programming is done by invoking procedures (sections of code executed within a program)

    Some languages, such asCOBOL,FORTRAN,PASCAL, andC,
    are known as procedural languages because they use a
    sequence of commands to specify how the machine is to solve
    a problem. Others, such asLISP, are functional, in that
    programming is done by invoking procedures (sections
    ofCODEexecuted within a program)
    Programming languages can also be classified as high-level or
    low-level.
    Low-level languages address the computer in a way that it can
    understand directly, but they are very far from human
    language.
    High-level languages deal in concepts that humans devise and
    can understand, but they must be translated by means of
    aCOMPILERinto language the computer understands.
