computer language
computer language System of words and rules used to
program a computer. Most
computers work using a binary-coded language (using 1s and 0s) called
machine code. A language consisting of words and symbols that relate more directly to normal language can be used to instruct a computer. A
compiler, assembler, or other such program then translates this into machine code. Several kinds of programming language have been designed for different purposes.
Fortran is for scientific and mathematical use,
COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) for business programs, Algol for mathematical applications, and
BASIC and
Pascal were originally for use by learners. Today, the majority of applications for personal computers are written in a language called
‘C’, or derivatives of it.
