3- Programming language Types

It is the way in which the programming language classifies values and expressions
into different types and how to deal with these types and convert between them.

4. Standard Libraries

It is a set of ready-made instructions or operations that a programming language
provides for its various parts to work together and to carry out the basic tasks
assigned to that programming language, such as dealing with texts and numbers,
communicating with the operating system, the file system, etc., and they are
usually placed in separate files and added to the program that it executes.

Classifications of programming languages

Programming languages are classified into categories and groups according to
their syntax, the way they process information, and the method of executing
programming language instructions. They are classified into:

Programming language and human languages

Human languages are the natural way
of communicating between humans.
They consist of letters that form words
and then form sentences according to a
set of rules that we call “grammar” in
Arabic. We then use these sentences
carefully to convey the desired
meaning. A person is supposed to be
familiar with the basics of the language
of the person he is interviewing so that
there are no problems in
communication. The matter is similar in programming languages, as they are a
language of communication between humans and computers or machines that
generally accept programming.
