ITECH5403 Comparative Programming Languages
The course content consists of a comparative study of several high-level programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, Lisp, Prolog, Ruby, and Smalltalk. The languages are compared with regard to their intrinsic data types and operations, control structures, implementation, and ease of use for various programming problems, allowing developers to choose the best programming language to use for a variety of different tasks.
