Programming languages are sets of instructions that allow developers to communicate with computers and tell them what to do. They are used to create a wide range of software applications from operating systems and desktop apps to mobile apps and web applications. There are many different types of programming languages, including high-level languages that are easy for humans to read and write but get compiled down for computers to understand, and low-level languages that are closer to what computers can directly understand and are used for operating systems and device drivers. This article provides an overview of programming languages, their types, and their uses.
