   This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 1 March 2025. Language for communicating instructions to a machine The source code for a computer program in C. The gray lines are comments that explain the program to humans. When compiled and run, it will give the output "Hello, world!". A programming language is a system of notation for writing ...

3. List of programming languages by type - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming...

   Declarative programming stands in contrast to imperative programming via imperative programming languages, where control flow is specified by serial orders (imperatives). (Pure) functional and logic-based programming languages are also declarative, and constitute the major subcategories of the declarative category. This section lists additional ...

4. Computer programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

   Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages.

5. History of programming languages - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_programming...

   Programming language evolution continues, and more programming paradigms are used in production. Some of the trends have included: Increasing support for functional programming in mainstream languages used commercially, including purely functional programming for making code easier to reason about and to parallelize (at both micro- and macro ...

6. Syntax (programming languages) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)

   The phrase grammar of most programming languages can be specified using a Type-2 grammar, i.e., they are context-free grammars, [8] though the overall syntax is context-sensitive (due to variable declarations and nested scopes), hence Type-1. However, there are exceptions, and for some languages the phrase grammar is Type-0 (Turing-complete).

7. Comparison of programming languages - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

   The Computer Language Benchmarks Game site warns against over-generalizing from benchmark data, but contains a large number of micro-benchmarks of reader-contributed code snippets, with an interface that generates various charts and tables comparing specific programming languages and types of tests.

8. General-purpose programming language - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose...

   A programming language may be created for a specific task, but used beyond that original domain and thus be considered a general purpose programming language. For example, COBOL , Fortran , and Lisp were created as DSLs (for business processing, numeric computation, and symbolic processing), but became GPL's over time.

9. List of programming languages - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

   This is an index to notable programming languages, in current or historical use. Dialects of BASIC, esoteric programming languages, and markup languages are not included. A programming language does not need to be imperative or Turing-complete, but must be executable and so does not include markup languages such as HTML or XML, but does include domain-specific languages such as SQL and its ...
