Introduction to Programming Languages

A structured system of communication used by humans and, in different forms, by some other animals.

A complex tool designed for software creation and hardware control using specific syntactic and semantic rules.

The set of rules that determines the arrangement of symbols in a language to form valid structures.

The meaning of symbols, words, phrases, and structures in a language.

A measure of how easily a language can be used to create programs for a specific domain.

A program's ability to perform exactly as intended under all conditions.

A programming paradigm that uses commands for the computer to perform step by step.

A paradigm centered around objects and classes, emphasizing encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.

A programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids mutable data.

Expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow.

A classification that specifies which kind of value a variable can hold, affecting operations that can be performed.

A design technique that divides a program into separate, interchangeable modules.

Defined by its behavior, encapsulating data and operations without specifying implementation details.

A paradigm that enables code reuse through highly abstracted algorithms and data structures.

A paradigm where the flow of the program is determined by events or changes in state.

Involves simultaneous execution of multiple operations to enhance performance on compute-intensive tasks.

The traditional model of programming where commands are executed one after another.

Organizes applications into layers, each performing a distinct function.

Focuses on reusing existing components to assemble applications via well-defined interfaces.

Characteristics that define the usability, efficiency, and expressiveness of programming languages.

Refers to how effectively a programming language utilizes system resources, affecting performance.

Frameworks that describe the ways programming languages approach problem-solving.

Syntax is the structure of code; semantics is what the code means and does.

The gradual development of programming languages influenced by technology and user experience.

Various areas of application for programming languages such as scientific, business, and web applications.

The influence of user communities and ecosystems on the adoption and development of programming languages.

A feature allowing the same operator to have different meanings based on context or operands.

A language characteristic where features can operate independently without unwanted interactions.

The process by which a computer retrieves the next instruction from memory and executes it.

A step-by-step procedure or formula for solving a problem.

A measure of how efficiently developers can produce software solutions.

The ability of different programming languages or systems to communicate and work with each other.
