Programming Language

A programming language is a way to translate in a reproducible way actions from the programmer into a code the central processing unit CPU van understand and execute. Normally it exists of a series of data definitions combined with logic applied to these data. Generally a computer language reflects the state of development of the hardware and its processing power.
