programming language

  
   
software that allows somebody to write instructions for a computer which it can then translate into a workable program

COMMENT: Programming languages are grouped into different levels: the high-level languages such as BASIC and PASCAL are easy to understand and use, but offer slow execution time since each instruction is made up of a number of machine code instructions; low-level languages such as ASSEMBLER are more complex to read and program in but offer faster execution time.
