What Is a Programming Language?

March 20, 2023

A programming language is a type of computer language and notation system for creating computer programs. Most languages are formal and text-based, but some are graphical.

Every language has a unique syntax, rules, and structure. Programmers write code using a programming language in an IDE or text editor. Some languages require compiling code into machine language, while others use an interpreter.
