BASIC is a high-level programming language that was developed in the mid-1960s to provide computer education to non-science and non-mathematics students. It became the dominant language for early personal computers.
COBOL is a high-level programming language developed in the early 1960s, designed primarily for business data processing tasks such as payroll and accounts payable.
PL/I (Programming Language One) is a highly versatile programming language developed by IBM in the early 1960s to support its System/360 mainframe computers. Renowned for its ability to handle scientific, engineering, and business applications, PL/I combines features from different programming paradigms, making it a powerful tool for various computational needs.
Syntax in computer programming refers to the set of rules that define how statements in a programming language must be structured. Violating these rules results in syntax errors.
