We have already learnt that computers follow certain steps to perform any task, and when we perform
a sequence of steps to solve any problem, it is called an algorithm. Let us now learn about computer
languages used to develop programs.

COMPUTER LANGUAGE

To communicate with computers, we need some special languages known as computer languages or
programming languages. A computer language is the medium by which instructions are transmitted
to the computer to perform a specific task. It is a set of words, symbols, and codes that the computer can
understand. We use it to write computer programs. A computer program is a set of instructions written
in a programming language. The process of writing a program is called programming. Programmers
are the people who write the programs.

There are several programming languages worldwide. Some languages were developed for specific
computers, while others were developed for specific uses such as scientific or business applications.
