History of Computer Programming Languages.

Hi guys,  
              After development of  of computer ,it require instructions to complete particular task.Due to this requirement computer programming languages are developed.In the beginning, Charles Babbage’s mechanical computer could only execute tasks by changing the gears. Thus, the earliest form of a computer language was physical motion. Eventually, physical motion was replaced by electrical signals when the US Government built the first electronic computer called as ENIAC.                                                          
                                                            In the 1940  the first recognizably modern, electrically powered computers were created. The limited speed and memory capacity forced programmers to write hand tuned assembly language programs.The first high-level programming language was Plankalkül , created by Konrad Zuse between 1942 and 1945.
  • 1943 - Plankalkül (Konrad Zuse)
  • 1943 - ENIAC coding system
  • 1949 - C-10    

Some important languages that were developed in this time period include:
                In 1954, language FORTRAN was invented at IBM by a team led by John Backus; it was the first widely used high level general purpose programming language to have a functional implementation. It is still a popular language for high-performance computing and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers.

Some notable languages that were developed in this period include:
  • 1951 – Regional Assembly Language             
  • 1952 – Autocode
  • 1955 – FLOW-MATIC (led to COBOL)
  • 1957 – FORTRAN (First compiler)
  • 1957 – COMTRAN (precursor to COBOL)
  • 1958 – LISP
  • 1958 – ALGOL 58
  • 1959 – FACT (forerunner to COBOL)
  • 1959 – COBOL     
  • 1963 – CPL
  • 1964 – BASIC
  • 1964 – Speakeasy
  • 1966 – JOSS
  • 1967 – BCPL
  •           

Simula, invented in the late 1960s by Nygaard and Dahl as a super set of Algol 60, was the first language designed to support object-oriented programming.C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at Bell Labs after developing BCPL language and used to re-implement the Unix operating system. It has since become one of the most widely used programming languages of all time, with C compilers. C has been standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) since 1989.

Part 2 : TCS DCA python coding questions

TCS wings1 DCA python coding TCS elevate wings1 coding questions This post contains only coding questions asked in TCS digital wings1 or tcs elevate wings1 exam. If anyone want coding answer of these questions please comment me or reach me through email provided. Given a string str which consists of only 3 letters representing the color,(H) Hue, (S) Saturation, (L) Lightness, called HSL colors. The task is to count the occurrence of ordered triplet “H, S, L” in a given string and give this count as the output. This question was asked in April 21 Digital Capababilty Assessment Examples: A) Input HHSL Output 2 Explanation : There are two triplets of RGB in the given string: H at index O, S at index 2 and Lat index 3 forms one triplet of HSL. H at index 1, S at index 2 and Lat index 3 forms the second triplet of HSL. B) Input:   SHL Output: 0 Explanation : No triplets exists. In this 3 Palindrome, Given an input string word, split the string into exactly 3 palindromic substrings. Work...

TCS wings1 DCA python coding TCS elevate wings1 coding questions This post contains only coding questions asked in TCS digital wings1 or tcs elevate wings1 exam. If anyone want coding answer of these questions please comment me or reach me through email provided. Find how many Sexy Prime Numbers in a given range k and p.  Sexy prime means the prime numbers that differ from each other by 6. Where difference between two sexy prime numbers is 6. Constraint: 2 <=p<k<= 1000,000,000. Sample Input: 4  40 Output: 7 Explanation: [5,11] [7,13] [11,17] [13,19] [17,23]  [23,29] [31,37] Problem Description -: Given two non-negative integers n1 and n2, where n1 For example: Suppose n1=11 and n2=15. There is the number 11, which has repeated digits, but 12, 13, 14 and 15 have no repeated digits. So, the output is 4. Example1: Input: 11 — Vlaue of n1 15 — value of n2 Output: 4 Example 2: Input: 101 — value of n1 200 — value of n2 Output: 72 Consider the string S1 = 321 All char...
