1. What is computer programming? Computer

programming is the process that professionals use to write code that
instructs how a computer, application or software program performs.
At its most basic, computer programming is a set of instructions to
facilitate specific actions. If you're wondering what a computer
programmer is, it's a professional that creates instructions for a
computer to execute by writing and testing code that enables
applications and software programs to operate successfully.
2. What is a computer programming language? A
programming language is a vocabulary and set of grammatical rules for
instructing computing device to perform specific tasks. The term
programming language usually refers to high-level languages, such as
C++, C, COBOL, JAVA, FORTRAN, Ada, and Pascal.
3. Enumerate and describe at least 5 computer
programming languages.
1. Javascript - Javascript is a scripting language, often used to make
web pages interactive. It’s text-based, written in an HTML document
and run through a web browser.
2. Python - Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming
language with an emphasis on code readability. It’s one of the easier
programming languages to learn, with its use of common words and
expressions, more white space and fewer curly brackets. It is used by
NASA and Reddit, and its web framework, Django, powers the
Instagram and Pinterest web apps.

3. C++ - C++ is a general purpose programming language that can be

used to create small programs or large applications. In 2013, C++ was
CyberCoders’ most in-demand programming language skill, and though
it’s dropped to No. 4 on the annual list,  don’t count it out just yet.

4. SQL - Pronounced “sequel,” SQL stands for Structured Query

Language, and it is a special-purpose programming language used for
getting information from and updating databases. Since nearly all
businesses run a database system of some kind, SQL is a good skill to
have on your resume. It’s also one of the easier tech skills to learn,
with numerous tutorials and free resources online (we like this one that
lets you learn the language while blowing up spaceships).
5. Java - Java is one of the most popular programming languages in
use, so it’s no surprise it came in as the No. 1 skill tech companies
were looking for. According to Oracle, 3 billion mobile phones run Java,
along with 125 million TV devices and 89% of desktop computers in the
U.S. Java is everywhere and the demand for strong developers is high.

4. What is Java computer programming

language? Java is a general-purpose computer programming
language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and
specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as
possible. A virtual machine, called the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), is
used to run the bytecode on each platform.

5. What are the advantages and disadvantages

of the Java language? Java is a robust programming
language since it uses strong memory management. We can also
handle exceptions through the Java code. Also, we can use type
checking to make our code more secure. It doesn't provide explicit
pointers so that the programmer cannot access the memory directly
from the code.
