Machine languages
• The only language understood by the computers directly.
• Machine languages are not human readable languages because
they consist entirely a stream of 0's and 1's.
• Each type of processor has its own machine language and
assembly language, so an assembly language program written for
one type of processor won't run on another.
• Machine language performs much faster.
Assembly languages
• Assembly languages are much easier to program because
• Programmers can use English-like abbreviations rather than
numbers.
• Programs so-called assemblers are used to convert assembly
language to machine languages.
• Make the programmers able to type instructions almost like
everyday English and mathematical notations.
• Using high-level languages speeds the time of the program writing
process.
• Programs so-called compilers convert
high-level language programs into
machine language.

C, C++, Python, C#, Java, Go, Swift, Matlab, Ruby, R,…

are among the most widely used high-level
programming languages

• BCPL was developed in 1967 by Martin Richards as a
language for writing operating systems software and
compilers for operating systems.
• Ken Thompson modelled many features in his language
B after their counterparts in BCPL.
• The C language was evolved from B by Dennis Ritchie at
Bell Laboratories.
• C++, an extension of C, was
developed by Bjarne Stroustrup
in the early 1980s at Bell
Laboratories.
• Microsoft’s latest development tools are part of its
corporate-wide strategy for integrating the Internet and
the web into computer applications.
• This strategy is implemented in Microsoft’s .NET
platform, which provides the capabilities to developers
need to make and run computer applications.

• Microsoft’s three primary programming languages are

• Visual Basic (based on the original BASIC)
• Visual C++ (based on C++)
• Visual C# (based on C++ and Java).
IDE’s provide comprehensive tools for
• writing and editing codes
• adding and editing resources
• building (compiling and linking)
• debugging codes
• deploying applications
IDE’s for C++
• Microsoft Visual Studio (Community Ed.)
• Windows OS
