In this episode of Bits and Bytes, we're going to look at various types of computer languages — first the languages we speak when we program the computer, programming languages, and then the language that the computer itself speaks, machine language. After that, we'll see how programming languages are translated into machine language by a means of interpreter or compile. We're also going to examine Logo, a computer language especially designed for children. Bits and Bytes was a Canadian...
