Language is a structured system of communication used by humans. When a human wishes to communicate with a computer system, a programming language is required. A programming language is able to convert a set of instructions, known as the source code, to perform a specific task. There are a number of common programming languages, such as C, C++, and JAVA. Each programming language requires a specific compiler, which is able to translate the source code into machine code. There are also other mechanisms to produce machine code that are interpreterbased, and these use stepbystep executors of the source code. A language can be implemented with either a compiler or interpreter. A combination of both platforms is possible too where the compiler generates the machine code and then passes it to the interpreter for execution .
