=="A computer program is an organized list of instructions that, when executed, causes the computer to behave in a predetermined manner. Without programs, computers are useless. Therefore, programming means designing or creating a set of instructions to ask the computer to carry out certain jobs which normally are very much faster than human beings can do.==

Machine language is extremely difficult to learn
==Programmers have written interpreters and compilers that can translate human language-like programs such as BASIC into machine language so that the computer can carry out the instructions entered by the users.==

Machine language is known as the primitive language while Interpreters and compilers like Visual Basic are called high-level language. "
