Forms of programming

Forms of programming

1. Machine Languages

   • Allow programmers to code instructions directly to the processor or hardware. As a result the code that is written by the programmer is almost natively written

2. Assembly Languages

   • Is an abstraction of machine language, uses codes to modify processor register to perform functions

3. Interpreted Languages

   • Readable languages by humans more easibly. The programmer writes the code and then runs it. The interpreter reads each line of the code and then interprets it into native instructions for the computer. Slower

4. Compile Language

   • Takes instructions written by a human and sends that to a compiler which takes the instrcutions and convert them to a binary bytecode and cretaes and executable. Runs faster than the interpreted code. If you need to make a change you need to readjust the original instructions

5. Object-Oriented Language

   • Treats everything as an object. An object can store values, perform actions called methods, and accept and return values. Is defined using a template called a class this defines what an object can do
   • The programmer can create and instance of that class

6. Languages for Data

   • SQL
     • Language designed for working with databases. You ask a question and it gives a dataset as a result.

7. Functional Programming

   • Isn't bound by an algorithm and you perform transformations on values like a function in math. You take a value or object and modify it

8. Scripting Language

   • It helps programs like Windows save common commands as script that can be run multiple times or distributed to multiple computers
