What is a computer language?
Instructing a computer is done a with computer language. A computer language is a set of words, symbols, and commands that a computer can understand."Think of this example: If you study French you learn words and rules of grammar that another speaker of French can understand. If you study computer language, you learn words and rules of grammar called syntax rules that a computer can understand. Most French words are not familiar to you when you first see them. But many computer languages use words that are mostly English words, such as PRINT, RUN, and NEW. These words have special meanings in a computer language.
Computer languages are not spoken to the computer (except in some experimental systems with limited vocabularies). Instead, you type the computer language on the keyboard. The computer then translates what you typed into electrical impulses that represent O's and I's—the form in which the computer can understand and carry out your instructions. To translate your instructions, the computer needs a language processor that is either built into the computer itself or loaded into the computer from a disk. The language processor acts somewhat like a human interpreter who listens to someone speaking French and then tells you what the words mean in English, it does the translating.
There are many different computer languages. You may have heard of BASIC, Pascal, Logo, FORTRAN, COBOL, and others. For your computer to understand one of these languages, it needs a translator for that language. Why are there different computer languages? The reason for this is that different languages work well for different kinds of tasks.
