Evolution Of Computer Programming Languages
In today's modern world computer is playing very vital role in our life, computer programming languages are bridge between human and machine it allow us to tell machines what to do. So it is very important us to know about computer languages evolution. The first computer programming language was created in 1883, when a woman named Ada Lovelace worked with Charles Babbage on his very early mechanical computer, the Analytical Engine. While Babbage was concerned with simply computing numbers, Lovelace saw that the numbers the computer worked with could represent something other than just amounts of things. She wrote an algorithm for the Analytical Engine that was the first of its kind. Because of her contribution, Lovelace is credited with creating the first computer programming language. As different needs have arisen and new devices have been created, many more languages have followed. Fortran (1957): Developed by: IBM Purpose: Designed for scientific and engineerin...
