Programming History





        Programming a computer is the art of telling a machine what to do, in a way the machine can understand. Counting to 100 seems very easy to us, but computers have to be told how to do it one simple step at a time. In order for a computer to be able to count to a 100, it has to perform at least 5 tasks:
1) Load 1
2) Add by 1
3) See if the some equals to 100
4) If not got to task 2
5) If yes then the computer is done
In other words we are telling the computer what to do with the help of programming, by telling it what to do and how to do it.
        Any experience programmer would not go to the high-level programming language (computer languages that exist today) in order to create a program the counts to 100. They would use something that is easy and does not require a lot of time to do. In my opinion most of the programmer would chose Basic as a computer language to create that kind of a program. Basic is one of the easiest computer languages, it was created in late sixties by the, current CEO of Microsoft, Bill Gates. It's a very simple language and it takes approximately 1 minute to create a program that count to 100. It would take the same amount of time to create that kind of a program using "C" computer language. However if you want to do something more complex such creating a copy programm, "C" is the language to use.
