A series of instructions written by a programmer according to a given set of rules or conventions (syntax). High-level programming languages are independent of the device on which the application (or program) will eventually run; low-level languages are specific to each program or platform. Programming language instructions are converted into progr [..]

(IEEE) A language used to express computer programs. See: computer language, high-level language, low-level language.

An artificial language that is used to generate or to express computer programs. Note: The language may be a high-level language, an assembly language, or a machine language.

A vocabulary and set of grammatical rules for instructing a computer to perform specific tasks. The term programming language usually refers to high-level languages, such as BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, FORT [..]

Set of instructions, orders, commands and rules that are used to create programs

A computer language that programmers utilize to create programs. C, Perl, Java, BASIC, and COBOL are examples of programming languages. In essence, programming languages are translators that take words and symbols and convert them to binary codes that the CPU can understand. See also BASIC, C, and Java.

A programming language is a computer language engineered to create a standard form of commands. These commands can be interpreted into a code understood by a machine. Programs are created through prog [..]

A formal notation for representing solutions.

a language that enables people to write instructions for computers. Programming languages generally have limited vocabularies and very strict formatting rules. This enables them to be read and underst [..]
