As we have already mentioned and explained programming languages in our previous blog<\/a>, let’s now delve into their types. There are many different types and categories of programming languages: Procedural, Functional, Object-Oriented, Scripting, Logic etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A programming language is a way for the Developers or Programmer to communicate with computers and other devices(IOT) using machine understandable code.<\/p>\n

There are many programming language available across the world, each language is created for specific features and when the language is written it is required to be translated into bytecode and machine code which the computer can then perform.<\/p>\n

Different Types Of Programming Language<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Now let us look at the different ways these programming languages can be grouped and categorised. There was many ways we can grow these languages based on their behaviour, execution style, structure and many other parameters. The diagram below shows some the common ways to define and group the programming languages as Procedural, Functional,Logic based, OOPs, Scripting etc to name a few.<\/p>\n
$\"Programming$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Procedural Programming Languages<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
A computer programming languages that is formulated for writing programs and it concentrate on explaining the process that a program need to gain some target. It is best for those tasks where a big problem has to divided into smaller and find a simpler way to get the solutions. In the other word, a programming model that is based upon the concept of procedure, that means routines, functions and includes some computational steps.<\/p>\n
\n
PL\/C<\/li>\n
PL\/I<\/li>\n
MATLAB<\/li>\n
HyperTalk<\/li>\n
Go<\/li>\n
Ada<\/li>\n
Fortran<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Functional Programming Languages\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
Functional programming languages is based on mathematical functions and avoid movable data. It utilized it\u2019s functions as a primary building blocks of programs. Here you cannot change the data structure which is created and it is formulated when modifications are required. It has other important features that is pure function that means provide same input as same output. Some common examples of Functional programming languages are<\/p>\n
\n
ML<\/li>\n
Erlang<\/li>\n
Haskell<\/li>\n
F#<\/li>\n
Scala<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Object-oriented Programming Languages\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
The concepts of OOPs are Classes, Object, Polymorphism, Abstraction, Inheritance & Encapsulation. This language is based on the principle of object-oriented programming.\u00a0 This language is totally depends upon object \u2013oriented program and circulated around the concept of object. With the help of this language developer construct and formulate software that can charge to more organized and maintainable code. Examples of OOPs languages are:<\/p>\n
\n
Java<\/li>\n
Python<\/li>\n
PHP<\/li>\n
C++<\/li>\n
Ruby<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Scripting Languages\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
This language is constructed to utilized for easy and quick writing scripts that help in automation of tasks, exploit data and have to perform several functions. This is a simple language that anyone can use and utilized\u00a0 to automate the tasks manipulate the data.\u00a0 Some famour scripting languages are : Python, and Bash etc. these languages make the important tools in automation and programming.<\/p>\n
\n
Bash<\/li>\n
JavaScript<\/li>\n
Lua<\/li>\n
Tcl<\/li>\n
VBScript<\/li>\n
Windows PowerShell<\/li>\n
F-Script<\/li>\n
BeanShell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Markup Languages<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
A markup language can be defined as an artificial language that used for annotating a document so that it is syntactically distinguishable from the text, the text that define how the text is to be displayed.\u00a0<\/span>
\nExamples:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
HTML<\/li>\n
XML<\/li>\n
XHTML<\/li>\n
SGML<\/li>\n
Curl<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Logic Programming Languages<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
It is based on the principle of formal logic and these languages is beneficial to solves the query in symbolic reasoning,\u00a0 knowledge representations etc. It is focus on what we have to gain rather how we can and it also consists of inference mechanism\u00a0 that permit the system to reduce latest logic from the rules and facts. Some of the logic programming languages include:<\/p>\n
\n
Prolog<\/li>\n
Absys<\/li>\n
Datalog<\/li>\n
Alma-0<\/li>\n
Fril<\/li>\n
Janus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Machine languages<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
These languages are directly executable by a compute Central Processing Unit. Machine languages are typically coded in bit patterns, represented in octal or hexadecimal forms.\u00a0<\/span>
\nExamples:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
ARM<\/li>\n
DEC<\/li>\n
x86<\/li>\n
IBM System\/360<\/li>\n
MIPS<\/li>\n
Sun, Oracle SPARC<\/li>\n
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Visual languages<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
In Visual Languages users can specify programs in a 2-D or more way instead one-dimensional (text strings) in visual languages we use graphical elements and figures to develop a program.\u00a0Some common example of Visual\u00a0languages include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Analytica<\/li>\n
Blockly<\/li>\n
DRAKON<\/li>\n
Fabrik<\/li>\n
Scratch<\/li>\n
Simulink<\/li>\n
Spreadsheets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Concurrent Languages<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
These languages are constructed for concurrency in Message passing languages. For example, Java shows shared-memory concurrency.\u00a0<\/span>
\nExamples of Concurrent\u00a0languages:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Go<\/li>\n
Java<\/li>\n
Julia<\/li>\n
clojure<\/li>\n
Scala<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h4>\n
As we know, there are approximately 700+ programming languages, and these languages are categorised into different types and categories like, object-oriented programming languages, scripting languages, markup languages etc. <\/span><\/p>\n
Programming languages are crucial for all developers and programmers to interact and communicate with computers through code, no matter how simple it may be.<\/span><\/p>\n
Through this post we have tried to share out thoughts on different ways the known programming languages can be classified based on there syntax, interpretation, behaviour etc.<\/p>\n
