EXERCISE 2

INSTRUCTION:

Identify the example of programmer, program and programming.

PROGRAMMER

 A computer programmer is someone who has the ability or capability to write a program or
software. A person who performs a task or works in programming is also known as a program
analyst. A computer programmer can speak at least one programming language to enable him to
program a program or software. Programmers can also be referred to as software developers,
software engineers, computer scientists or software analysts.
 Among the commonly used programming languages are C, C ++, Assembly, Java, C#, VB.NET,
Ruby, PHP and many more depending on the purpose for which the software was created.
 Programming languages are also divided into high level languages and also low level languages.
Low -level languages are often used to develop computer system software such as Computer
Operating Systems. While high -level languages are often used to develop system applications for
use by large organizations such as inventory systems, banks and so on.

PROGRAM

 A computer program is a series of organized instructions that instruct a computer to make

a presentation of tasks.
 Without a program, a computer is useless.
 A program is like a recipe. It contains a list of variables (called materials) & a list of
statements (called instructions) that tell the computer what to do.
 Just like a recipe, a program can be written in a different programming language, can
express different steps according to the syntax of the programming language, but deliver
results for a similar purpose.

PROGRAMMING

 A programming language is to allow a programmer to convey his or her intentions for a

computing process, more easily than what they can do with a low -level language or
machine code. Because of this purpose, programming languages are generally designed
to use high -level syntax, which is more easily understood by programmers. programming
languages are important tools to help software engineers write better programs faster.
 A programming language or computational language is a standard communication
technique for explaining instructions to a computer. It is a set of syntactic and semantic
rules used to produce a computer program. The programming language allows the
programmer to detail or provide detailed specifications of the following:-
a) the data needed to be processed by the computer
b) how data is stored or transmitted
 c) what to do in various situations in more depth (algorithm)
 There are various languages with specific functions and used for specific situations:
a) PHP is a scripting language used in web development
b) Perl is better suited for manipulating words
c) The C language is more widely used in the development of Operating Systems and
Compilers
 Programming languages allow computer programs to be less dependent on specific
machines or environments alone. This is because the programming language is converted
into machine code for a particular machine, rather than being run directly by the machine.
This is the main purpose of the production of the Fortran programming language,
