    The first functioning programming languages designed to communicate instructions to a computer were written in the early 1950s. John Mauchly 's Short Code , proposed in 1949, was one of the first high-level languages ever developed for an electronic computer . [ 8 ]

  4. List of programming languages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

    This is an index to notable programming languages, in current or historical use. Dialects of BASIC, esoteric programming languages, and markup languages are not included. A programming language does not need to be imperative or Turing-complete, but must be executable and so does not include markup languages such as HTML or XML, but does include domain-specific languages such as SQL and its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    In computer programming languages, a switch statement is a type of selection control mechanism used to allow the value of a variable or expression to change the control flow of program execution via search and map. Switch statements function somewhat similarly to the if statement used in programming languages like C/C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET ...

  6. Generational list of programming languages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generational_list_of...

    This is a "genealogy" of programming languages. Languages are categorized under the ancestor language with the strongest influence. Those ancestor languages are listed in alphabetic order. Any such categorization has a large arbitrary element, since programming languages often incorporate major ideas from multiple sources.

  7. Time complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_complexity

    In theoretical computer science, the time complexity is the computational complexity that describes the amount of computer time it takes to run an algorithm. Time complexity is commonly estimated by counting the number of elementary operations performed by the algorithm, supposing that each elementary operation takes a fixed amount of time to ...

  9. Comparison of programming languages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    Programming languages are used for controlling the behavior of a machine (often a computer). Like natural languages, programming languages follow rules for syntax and semantics. There are thousands of programming languages [1] and new ones are created every year.
