What is a Programming Language?

It is not a normal language like Urdu or English.

It is a special language only for computers.

We use it to give steps or instructions to the computer.

The computer reads the code and follows the steps.

For example, with a programming language, we can:

Make a website;

Build a mobile app;

Create a game;

Solve math problems;

Show messages on screen.

Computers do not understand human words.

They only understand code.

That is why we use programming languages — so they can understand us.

Some popular programming languages are:

Python – good for beginners;

Java – used for mobile apps;

JavaScript – used for websites.

Programming is the first step to making anything with a computer.

It is a very useful skill to learn.

Why Do We Need It?

Computers do not understand human words like Urdu or English. They only understand code.

That is why we use programming languages — to give them clear instructions they can follow. They only understand code. So we use programming languages to talk to them. They only understand code. That is why we use programming languages — they act like a bridge between us and the computer.

Different languages are made for different types of work. Some languages are for making apps.

Some are for websites.

Some are for games.

Some are for working with data.
