A programming language is a set of instructions given to a computer to be able to carry out certain jobs in solving a problem. Its function is to command the computer to process data according to the stages of completion that a programmer has determined. This language allows a programmer to determine exactly which data will be processed by the computer, as well as how this data will be stored or transmitted and what types of steps will be taken in various situations exactly.
The programming language itself has levels. There are low-level (Low-level), mid-level (Mid-level), and high-level (High-level) programming languages. Some examples of programming languages are HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP, C++, Python, and many others.
