GRADE: On the subject of coding

When one says a computer language, they do not mean languages such as English, Spanish, French, or German. What the mean is the language in which you code a computer. Theres not one language, there are hundreds. Theyre basically what tells the computer what to do. Each one is as unique as human languages. However, for me to explain, I Need to explain what they do and what they are. Languages ore listed as high level, low level, anywhere in between. They also called compiled or written. Now the lower the language, the harder it is. However, you can also do a lot more. For example, there's assembly, which is arguably the hardest language there is. This is one of the lowest languages. Whats done in 30 lines in this could be done in 1 in other languages, however you have more choices. The difference between compiled and written languages are simple, written is written, and compiled are written, then run through a compiler, which basically does all the work, and makes it run. It also turns it into assembly. Some examples of these are C, C++, C#, B, and Fortan. Written are run with a program that acts figures what what you want via the script. Some examples are Java, Python, Perl, and many others. Now, on this giant chart, C++ is a fairly low leveled compilled language. I decided to learn a language. However, as C++ (The dominate language, think of it as English) is difficult, I started with python. Python is a mid level written language.I spent several nights teaching myself this language, however I didnt get very far. I put this project of mine on the back burner for a year.

The next year I joined the robotics team, which dealed heavily in programming. However, I was unable to learn how to program via them. Never the less, I sogned up for a summer robotics course. I quickly discovered that this class will basically teach my C, which is C++ minus a bit. (C++ Litterly means C + objects + other things) This course taught me quite a bit about programming, to the point where I could achally program. After finishing the course, I went home and kept teaching myself I taught myself C++, and just kept learning. Now I consider myself an OK programmer. In fact, now Im starting on python again, and I plan to finish it this time. Programming has allowed me to move into other exciting relms, such as microcontrollers (Tiny computers). Learning to program changes your life, suddenly you look at the computer differenly,becouse you know how it warks.
