Types of programming languages

Types of programming languages

1. Machine language

   • How?
     • Codifications of instructions directly to the hardware
   • Programation
     • Processors programmed through sequences and patterns
   • Code
     • Written in a natively way

2. Assembly language

   • What?
     • Abstraction of the machine language
   • Use
     • Codes to modify processors registers and perform functions

3. Interpreted language

   • Easy
     • Readable for humans
   • Useful
     • A component reads each code line and then turns it into native language
   • Speed
     • It's slower than others
   • Examples
     • JavaScript

4. Compiled language

   • How?
     • Takes instructions and then send them into a compiler
   • Convertion
     • Binary byte code
   • Creation
     • Executable
   • One way
     • From native to hardware
     • Difficult to come back from hardware
   • Speed x2
     • Faster than interpreted language

5. Object-oriented language

   • Treats everything as an object
   • A class defines an object and what can it do

6. Data language

   • What?
     • Combines data bases to create combinations that can be analyzed
   • Ask/receive
     • Ask a question
     • Receive a data set
   • Examples
     • R
     • SQL

7. Functional language

   • Not here
     • Algorithms
   • As
     • It's like a math equation
   • Inclusion
     • F#
     • Scala
     • Haskell

8. Scripting language

   • What?
     • Saves common commands as a script
   • Why?
     • To run multiple times and be distributed to multiple computers
   • Examples
     • PowerShell, Perl and Bash
