A language used to instruct or command computer to perform a specific task is called Programming Language. The process of design is founded in the systematic principles & methods. Although at times designer is compelled to deploy intuitions, tactic knowledge etc. Programming Environment is in which programs are created & tested, and it tends to have less influence on language design than the Operating Environment in which the programs are expected to be executed. It consists primarily of a set of support tools & a command language for invoking them. Separate Compilation & Assembly of a Program from components and features aiding program testing & debugging.
