A programming language is what? I’d describe it as a language that might be used to program a machine to perform a sequence of tasks. Because HTML just describes how text and graphics should be presented on a website, it is not a programming language. Consider the scenario where we want to display a message on the screen, which is a standard command in the majority of languages. Here are the steps you would take in various languages, along with notes on when and where you would utilize each language and its advantages and disadvantages.

Visual C# and Visual Basic

The command to display a message on the screen in Visual Basic is: MessageBox.Show”Wise Owl says tu-whit!” The procedure is essentially the same in Visual C#; all you have to do is add a semicolon to the end of the line. The two primary languages used in Microsoft applications are VB and C# (or other recognized names for them), particularly in.NET programs like ASP.NET. Therefore, the next time you visit a website and notice that the URL ends with.ASPX, consider the notion that a program written in VB or C# is frantically compiling the results at the web server to transmit back to you.

Applications in Visual Basic

Visual Basic for Applications, also known by the abbreviation VBA, is similar to Visual Basic but is intended for use in Microsoft Office programs like Word and Excel. In VBA, the command to show a message is: MsgBox It says, “Wise Owl says tu-whit!”

JavaScript

The language used on websites worldwide to perform operations at the client (that is, after a webpage has been downloaded and displayed on your screen) is called JavaScript, among other things. If you’ve ever reserved a trip and filled out a form, JavaScript is validating your information. You might display our message as follows in JavaScript: (‘Wise Owl says tu-whit!’) alert

SQL

Because SQL isn’t quite a genuine programming language, I’ve saved it for last. Although it can be used to give instructions (including those using conditions and loops), its primary function is to select and modify data in a database. The SQL command: is the closest thing to showing a message you can get. PRINT Wise Owl declares, “Tu-whit!” This notice would, however, be displayed on the Messages tab at the bottom of the SQL Server query rather than as a pop-up message on the screen. Even though there are a ton more programming languages out there, like Fortran, which was my first love and is primarily used by scientists, this list should whet your hunger for programming.
