A formal system of notation for writing instructions that can be executed by a computer. It consists of a specific set of rules for syntax (structure) and semantics (meaning) that define how to create software programs. Languages are classified as low-level, like assembly language, or high-level, like Python or Java, which offer greater abstraction from the hardware.
