Programming

A computer necessitates a program for functioning. It does nothing until & unless the instructions are been executed by a central processor. And so, programming language facilitates a computer program for this. It consists of a set of commands so as to instruct a computer to accomplish a particular task.

Hence, there are two functions with a programming language to be carried out. Those are: Technical (directing a computer to perform the task) & Conceptual (organization & manipulation of the ideas).

In order to make the computer comprehend the instructions, compilation & integration of a program is done. The work of a computer/software programmer includes a process of editing or writing of a source code. Editing of a source code consist of: analyzing, testing and refining.

Programming is considered as a one section in a software development process. At times, extensive process of computer programming is regarded as a software development. There are five most important elements in the programming process. Those are:

- Defining of the problem.
- Planning of the solution.
- Coding of the program.
- Testing of the program.
- Documenting of the program.

Every highly developed language, whether it is an Ada, BASIC, COBAL, C, C++, FORTAN or PASCAL, encloses an exclusive set of keywords and an exceptional syntax for the systematization of the program instructions.
