Welcome to this Programming Superdupermegathread!

Programming is one of the most important aspects of a Computer, because without Programming, Computers cant do much! By itself, Programming is a digitally written set of instructions that instructs the computer to do what the code tells the computer to do.

WHAT IS A COMPUTER?
A computer is in its base form is a calculator of instructions that perform an output based upon the Input and what happens to the input to become Output.

GENERATIONS OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Programming Generations are simply a way to classify programming languages by complexity

Generation I: Machine Code. This code is very complex and is executed directly by the CPU to produce the specified output. Very hard to read and write with, but simple for a CPU to process

Generation II: Assembly Languages are low level languages more complex but requires a assembler to be useful. Each language is specific to an individual system.

Generation III: These languages are high level ones. Whereas Generation IIs are machine dependent, Generation IIIs are more programmer friendly and easier to write with. Examples are COBOL, Fortran, and more popular ones like Java, C++, BASIC, and Pascal.

Generation IV: These languages have narrower uses but are still common, like Database accessing. These languages are closer to human lanaguages than Generation IIIs.

Generation V: These languages are mostly used for Neural Networking and AI.

LIST OF COMMON LANGAUGES:
ASSEMBLY

Code:

.MODEL  TINY

        .CODE

CODE    SEGMENT BYTE PUBLIC 'CODE'

        ASSUME  CS:CODE,DS:CODE

        ORG     0100H

        DB  'HELLO WORLD$', 0

        INC DH

        MOV AH,9

        INT 21H

        RET

BASIC

Code:

Cls

Print "Hello, world!"

Sleep

End

Bash (example code is a basic Bash Hello World script)

Code:

  #!/bin/bash          

          echo Hello World   

Batch / .BAT (example code shows a Hello World Script in a BAT file)

Code:

@ECHO off

ECHO Hello World!

PAUSE

C (Example code is a Hello World script)

Code:

//C hello world example

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

  printf("Hello world\n");

  return 0;

}

C++ (Again a Hello World Script)

Code:

// my first program in C++

#include <iostream>

int main()

{

  std::cout << "Hello World!";

}

Code:

// Hello1.cs

public class Hello1

{

   public static void Main()

   {

      System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

   }

}

Java

Code:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Prints "Hello, World" to the terminal window.

        System.out.println("Hello, World");

    }

}

Lua

Code:

    print("Hello World")

Javascript

Code:

console.log("Hello World!");

PHP

Code:

<html>

 <head>

  <title>PHP Test</title>

 </head>

 <body>

 <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> 

 </body>

</html>

Python

Code:

print('Hello world!')

Ruby

Code:

puts "Hello World"

More to be added on request

Just what can programming do?
All sorts of things, from simple database querys to massive websites like Facebook to sattelite behaviour.
And as seen here, even functional Prototype AIs!

It's obvious programming is quite new to you from your previous topic (http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthre...id=20761).

Are you trying to give people the impression you wrote that text above by the way? It took about 15.5 seconds to find the original text... At least give some credit... http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=287485.0

just wanted to make a place for forum people to elaborate on programming abit
yeah, ill put in credits to becquerel

This might be of interest: http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthre...?tid=20867

Er, no. It's not a design nor a concept, you copied and pasted word for word, claiming it was yours first, now you are saying not all of it is copied? Did you even got permission from the original poster?
