== List of programming languages ==

A programming language is a formal language comprising a set of instructions that produce various kinds of output. Programming languages are used in computer programming to implement algorithms. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning).

High-level programming languages[edit | edit source]

High-level programming languages are designed to be easy for humans to read and write. They abstract the details of the computer hardware and focus on the logic of the algorithms. Examples include:

Low-level programming languages[edit | edit source]

Low-level programming languages provide little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture. They are often used for system programming and hardware manipulation. Examples include:

Scripting languages[edit | edit source]

Scripting languages are often used for automating tasks and are usually interpreted rather than compiled. Examples include:

Functional programming languages[edit | edit source]

Functional programming languages are designed to handle symbolic computation and list processing applications. Examples include:

Object-oriented programming languages[edit | edit source]

Object-oriented programming languages are based on the concept of "objects", which can contain data and code. Examples include:

Procedural programming languages[edit | edit source]

Procedural programming languages are based on the concept of procedure calls, where statements are structured into procedures (also known as routines or functions). Examples include:

Logic programming languages[edit | edit source]

Logic programming languages are based on formal logic. Any computation is expressed as logical statements. Examples include:

Concurrent programming languages[edit | edit source]

Concurrent programming languages are designed to handle concurrent computation. Examples include:
