Programming Languages

1. Comparative Analysis of Visual Basic VS Java
programming language
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
A prominent purpose of programming languages
is to give instructions to a computer. As similar,
programming languages differ from utmost other forms of
mortal expression in that they bear a lesser degree of
perfection and absoluteness. When using a natural language
to communicate with other people, mortal authors and
speakers can be nebulous and make small crimes, and still
anticipate their intent to be understood. Still, computers do
exactly what they're told to do, and cannot understand the
law theprogrammer" intended “to write. Thecombination of
the language description, the program, and the program's
inputs must completely specify the external gets that occur
when the program is executed.
Numerous languages have been designed from
scrape, altered to meet new requirements, combined with
other languages, and ultimately fallen into desuetude.
Although therehave been attempts to design one " universal"
computer language that serves all purposes, allof them have
failed to be accepted in this part. The need for different
computer languages arises from thediversity of surrounds in
which languages are used
Programmers range in moxie from beginners who
need simplicity overall additional to experts who may be
comfortable with considerable complexity. Programs must
balance speed, size, and ease on systems starting from
microcontrollers to supercomputers. Programs may be
written formerly and not change for generations, or they may
suffer nearly constant revision.
Eventually, programmers may simply differ in
their tastes they may be oriented to agitating problems and
expressing them in a particular language.
One common trend in the development of
programming languages has been to add further capability to
break problems using an advanced position of abstraction.
The foremost programming languages were tied veritably
nearly to the underpinning tackle of the computer. As new
programming languages have developed, features have been
added that let programmers express ideas that are more
removed from simple restatement into underpinning tackle
instructions.
Java: A concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, language
specifically designed to have as few implementation
dependencies as possible. Java is a programming language
and computing platformfirst released by Sun Microsystems
in 1995. There are lots of applications and websites that will
not work unless you have Java installed, and more are
created every day. Java is fast, secure, and reliable. From
laptops to datacenters, game consoles to scientific
supercomputers, cell phones to the Internet, Java is
everywhere; Visual Basic: Modern, high-level, multi-
paradigm, a general-purpose programming language for
building apps usingVisual Studio and the.NET Framework.
Visual Basic is derived from BASIC and enables the rapid
application development (RAD) of graphical user interface
(GUI) applications, access to databases using Data Access
Objects, Remote DataObjects, or ActiveX DataObjects, and
creation of ActiveX controls and objects.
Java and Visual Basic can be primarily classified
as "Languages" tools.
According to the StackShare community (2022), Java has a
broader approval, being mentioned in 2399 company stacks
& 2723 developers stacks; compared to Visual Basic, which
is listed in 10 company stacks and 26 developer stacks.

2. CRITERIA OF LANGUAGE COMPARISON
The following criteria have been considered for
comparing various languages
 Learnability, to enable programmers to be
effective, efficient, and satisfied when learning to
use Languages programming.
 Accessibility, that the programming languages are
effective, efficient, and satisfying for
programmers with thewidest range of capabilities.
 Maintainability, to enable maintenance tasks to be
completed effectively, efficiently, and with
satisfaction.
According to Brian Fayeet al. (2017), One criterion that
can be used to compare programming languages is
learnability or theease with which a programming language
can be learned by a programmer. Learnability has many
aspects as well, such as mastery, change in performance over
time, and initial learnability. This work examines a proposed
measure of initial learnability that is based on the amount of
time that a programmer needs to transfer his/her knowledge
of one programming language to the understanding of
another.
Alex Hadwen-Bennett et al. (2018) statethat, many modern
programming environments are inaccessible to VI learners,
being challenging or impossible to interface with using a
screen reader (Baker et al., 2015; Stefik et al., 2011) and user
interfaces often employ highly graphical depictions (Ludi,
2013). Kane & Bigham (2014) identified the following
criteria for the development of environments in which VI
children can learn to program:
 “Programming tools must be accessible to the
student and must work with the assistive
technology that he or she uses.”
 “Thestudent must be provided with programming
tasks that hold their interest and provide
encouraging feedback.” (Kane& Bigham, 2014, p.
257).
As mentioned in GNSS SDR (2021) Maintainability refers
to theease with which a product can be maintained in order
to isolate and correct defects or their cause, repair or replaces
faulty or worn-out components without having to replace
still working parts, prevent unexpected breakdowns,
maximize a product’s useful life, maximize efficiency,
reliability, and safety, meet new requirements, make future
maintenance easier, or cope with a changing environment.
