Programming – 5 languages that are popular with programmers

In the previous article we talked about programming languages in which I gave a description of programming languages.now  its time to know  about the top programming languages, their syntax and how they are used. So beginning with my favorite language that is Java.

1: JAVA

Java is considered as the most popular language in computer world as it is used for many purposes like building server-side applications for games, it’s the core foundation for the development of android and its applications also it is portable. And if you remember the phones we used to have that were not smartphones, had applications which ran on java, whenever we used to open those applications a logo of java used to appear on the screen.

2. C/C++

3. PYTHON

10: Android lollipop ( Android 5.0)

Last but not the least ,the latest android which was realised to the market on June 25, 2014  named it as Android lollipop is attracting all the people towards it either by its name or features or both. Lollipop has the best UI among all the versions of android with lots of animations in it and one interesting feature in it and that is you have a guest account in it same as like PC’s and laptops have, not only this it has a lot more in it that I am going to explain.

It can support 64-bit CPU,support for print previews, also has a refreshed notification tray followed by the quick settings which you will see when you will use it,project volta for battery life improvements,one more interesting feature is there that is recently used applications are remembered even after rebooting the device, now if by mistake or due to a low battery state your phone got switched off then there’s nothing to worry about you can resume it, power saving mode is so powerful now that when you do not have a charger with you, you can rely on that.

One more strong feature is there that is device protection : when your phone is stole or lost then only the user can open it by logging in with his ID And it will not be unlocked without ID   even if you do a factory reset But for lollipop the hardware requirements are a little bit higher. The involved new feature of providing notification called heads up notification i.e notification like call, message and all pop up on top like a small bar while you’re using your phone. They updated the document centric recent button.Developers made possible to integrate your OS with your health, lollipop introduced heart beat sensor which was a great innovation.

The different version and updates for lollipop are
Android 5.0, Android 5.1

Features:

• Increased Performance
• Improved Battery Saving and management
• Updated UI with new 3D view
• 64-bit Architecture
• Heads Up notification
• Bluetooth Low energy
• Improvised Graphics as well as Audio control.
• Chromium Webview
• Job Scheduling for Effective power sharing .

Even if these features look good, lollipop is still full of bugs and bugs. i personally have lollipop 5.02 which need serious debugging .

That’s all for the Android Generations 😀

As explained earlier , Android names are in alphabetical order, now we are waiting for some Android M ,
M can be munch or may be Maggie as nestle need to relaunch Maggie and this is the best platform for relaunch.lol

Language? what a language is?

Simple, it’s a way In which we humans communicate.
There are a number of languages in the world according to different regions in the world.
For example english,hindi,spanish,chinese,arabic etc.

What a language actually does?
It consist of some words which has some instructions in it which can be easily understand by a human brain and brain decode those instructions and do the required work. Similarly, we have languages in computers which have some instructions in it, which is programmed by computer and which further ask computer to do the required operation. These languages which we use in computer are called Programming languages.

With the evolution of computer, there needed a thing to control computers and for that a way of communication was required. This leaded to a concept of language, and in the early 1950s first programming language was introduced that was assembly language. A computer language consists of two parts in which one is syntax and the other is semantics. Syntax basically means a format and semantic means logic,combination of both makes a language. In computer world a language is designed in such a way so that it can be easily understand by both human(user) and the computer, this means that when a program or code is written with correct syntax and semantics it is decoded by computer in binary form( computer understandable language ).

There are two types of programming languages, one is low-level programming language and the other one is high level programming language. Basically a low-level language is more inclined towards computer and not the user. Assembly language was converted to computer understandable language using assembler. High level language is a language which is much user-friendly and can easily be converted to machine understandable using compiler or interpreter. The codes in these languages are similar to human language and thus it is user friendly.

Some common examples of these languages are Fortran,Cobol,snobol, Algol,c/c++,java,c#,python,HTML,XML,ruby,pearl,ASP,PHP, .NET, java script, pascal.
