Study Notes
Types of Programming Languages
- Procedural languages follow a sequence of statements or commands to achieve a desired output.
- Declarative languages express a series of facts and rules for decision-making.
Fifth-Generation Languages (5GL)
- Key advantage is that they are based on artificial intelligence concepts, allowing for more advanced problem-solving capabilities.
Fourth-Generation Languages (4GL)
- One significant disadvantage is that they may lack the flexibility and control found in lower-level languages, making them less suitable for certain tasks.
Ease of Learning
- Scripting languages are typically less prone to errors and easier to learn, often used for automating repetitive tasks.
Common Programming Language Features
- Syntax defines specific rules and structure for writing code in any programming language.
- Libraries and frameworks provide pre-written code and tools that simplify programming tasks and enhance productivity.
Storage and Organization
- Procedural programming languages use named memory locations to store values, making data management easier.
- Object-oriented programming (OOP) languages are unique in that they encapsulate data and behaviors into objects, promoting reuse and organization.
Popularity of Object-Oriented Languages
- OOP languages are favored for complex programs due to features like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism, allowing better organization and scalability of the code.
Functional Programming Focus
- The main focus of functional programming languages is on the application of functions and immutability, avoiding changing-state and mutable data.
Non-Common Languages
- A specific programming language mentioned is not commonly used in scripting or OOP contexts, highlighting a knowledge gap that students should address.
