What is The Difference Between PostScript And PL/C, Programming Languages
PostScript is an Interpreted Programming Language, while PL/C is a Procedural Programming Language
What are Interpreted Programming Languages
An interpreted language is a programming language for which most of its implementations execute instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions. The interpreter executes the program directly, translating each statement into a sequence of one or more subroutines already compiled into machine code. (Wikipedia)
What are Procedural Programming Languages
Procedural (imperative) programming implies specifying the steps that the programs should take to reach to an intended state. A procedure is a group of statements that can be referenced through a procedure call. Procedures help in the reuse of code. Procedural programming makes the programs structured and easily traceable for program flow.
While PostScript is an Interpreted Programming Language, and PL/C is a Procedural Programming Language
Let us now look at the difference between the two:
What is PostScript Programming Language – A brief synopsis
It is used in the desktop publishing field and is known as a page description language. It is a dynamically typed stack-based programming language developed by John Warnock, an American computer scientist and Charles Geschke, a notable figure in the field of computer science. These developers went on to found the very well-known company, Adobe Systems.
What is PL/C Programming Language – A brief synopsis
It was developed for being used to teach programming. It was created at the Cornell University in the 1970s.
