About
A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs; they are described in terms of their syntax (form) and semantics (meaning) usually defined by a formal language; the language usually provide features such as a type system, variables, and mechanisms for error handling; an implementation of a programming language is required in order to execute programs, namely an interpreter or a compiler; an interpreter directly executes the source code, while a compiler produces an executable program1.
