1.2.4 Types of Programming Languages

Programming Paradigms:

We need to know 3 types of paradigms: Procedural, Object Orientated and Assembly.

Procedural:

Languages such as Python and C.

Common characteristics of procedural programming:

  • Instructions given in sequence
  • Selection is used to make choices/branch out
  • Iteration decides how many times something is done
  • Programs often broken down into Procedures/functions

Object Orientated:

Languages such as C++ and Java

Programmers develop objects based on the real world which interact with eachother.

Assembly:

This is code that is written for a specific processor.
