Document Summary

Today we will look at the same program in five different programming languages. The goal is to appreciate the similarity between the languages. The structure or form of the code which a specific programming language specifies. The meaning assigned to the symbols, characters, and words. Language paradigm that uses statements to change the state of a program. A statement can be made of one of more expressions: you can have statements such as calculations, every statement alters the program in some way. This is highly associated with machine code. There is actually well defined syntax and conventions for instances such as professional writing, but it does not need to be exact. Used to show exactly what you intend to do. You cannot damage your computer system by using this programming language. The end of the line is literally interpreted by a new line, no symbols or characters specifically.
