  • everything we do on computers and smartphones has some sort of code behind it, telling it what to dio.

  • But have you ever thought about how this code gets written?

  • There are thousands of different languages in the world around us, and in the digital world, things aren't so different.

  • There are also tons of different programming languages, making up the code that powers much of our technology.

  • A programming language is made up of specific terms and directions that are used to create some kind of output, such as websites.

  • APS.

  • Basically any kind of software languages like JavaScript, python and Java are often used by websites for a variety of different purposes.

  • C plus plus is used just about everywhere to make things like desktop APS, games and more.

  • There's also HTML and CSS, and while these aren't technically programming languages, there used to create the structure and appearance of almost every website out there.

  • These are just a few of the most popular languages, but there are also many, many more.

  • And the reason for this is that all of these languages are unique and operate differently from one another.

  • To further explain this, let's take a look at vehicles.

  • There are all kinds of different vehicles in the world, and most of them could get you from Point A to point B.

  • But which one you choose depends on a number of factors.

  • Some of them might be faster than others, and certain vehicles might take more skill or training toe operate.

  • In some instances, one vehicle might work better than another, like if you needed to move some bulky objects.

  • But in a lot of cases, most modes of transportation could get the job done, and it just comes down to what you personally prefer.

  • All of these qualities about vehicles also apply to programming languages.

  • For example, Ah Web developer might choose to use JavaScript because it works well with HTML, while the video game designer might choose C plus plus because it can handle more complex graphics without programming languages, most of the technology we use on a daily basis would be useless when it comes down to it.
