Basics of Programming: Part 1

We know computer only understands 1s and 0s. Computers do works according the set of these 1s and 0s. These 1s and 0s are called Machine Language . At the early time of computing, programmers instruct computers by writing directly into Machine Language. But as times go on, works for the computers rises rapidly. And it was very tough for the programmers to write these instructions again and again for separate command. So, they define some set of Machine Code dedicated for some specified works and give them appropriate name. These names are called Keywords . For example: ADD for addition, SUB for subtraction etc. This language is called Assembly Language . After some times, the keywords weren’t enough for the programmers. So, here comes the thinking of a ‘Set of Keywords’ or Programming Language or High Level Language . Programmers write their program into these languages and these instructions were translated into the machine language for execution. The translator which translates the h
