All about Programming Languages
A programming language is a set of words and rules that people use to write instructions for computers. Different languages suit different tasks. Scratch uses colourful blocks and is good for beginners, while Python is widely used in science and data work.
JavaScript runs in web browsers and makes websites interactive. Each language has its own syntax, which is the rules for how code must be written, so a computer can understand it exactly.
