Document Summary

Not every problem can be solved using a pre-defined application, or the application is not suitable for a particular need or environment. Thus, we need to know how to write our own programs using programming languages. Though all programming languages provide essentially the same features, there are many different ones. Programming languages differ as there are vast differences in the types of input data, calculations needed, and output reports required by various applications. They also differ in terms of levels or generations, and in ways to describe data and problems to be solved. Programming languages are a tool that are intended to facilitate the development of correct and efficient binary code for execution on a. Some languages (e. g. matlab) are intended to facilitate the rapid development of relatively simple programs for engineering and scientific calculations, moderate-scale stimulations and data visualization. Other languages (e. g. java) are intended to facilitate the development of code deploy over the internet.
