- Easy location of errors in the program
- Easy understanding of the program code
- Execution of the pogram is faster
- The program becomes neat (commenting the program codes)

Fundamental features of most programming languages are keywords (reserved words) and built-in data types. These generally form the building blocks for user-defined functions and data types.
The elements of a programming language generally consist of input, processing, and output. Statements, blocks, functions, variables, types, objects... and stuff like that
What are the characteristic features of the procedural programming languages
Procedural programming is classic programming where the program language is used to tell the computer EXACTLY what do do - step by step. Examples are Assembler, Fortran, Cobol, C, etc etc. Very detailed, very difficult and time consuming to write, but very efficient from the computers point of view. NON-procedural programming is where you tell the computer what you want, and it figures out how to get it. Non/P programming is often used for database manipulations, like SQL, Visual Basic, etc etc. A SQL command like "Select name, address, city, state, zip order by zip" is non procedural. That one line replaces dozens, or hundred of lines, that would be needed to do the same thing in Cobol or C to get data out of a database.
The way I understand it Markup Language is used for adding extra features, like structure or presentation of the text, objects etc.Programming language is used for creating programs.Basically in the example of the car, markup languagewould be the tools used to create the body and design, and programming language - the tools used to build an engine.
Abstraction, encapsulation and polymorphismare the three fundamental features of an object oriented programming language.
Procedural programming can sometimes be used as a synonym for imperative programming. To a programming paradigm based upon the concept of the procedure call. Procedures, also known as routines, subroutines, methods, or functions (not to be confused with mathematical functions, but similar to those used in functional programming) simply contain a series of computational steps to be carried out. Any given procedure might be called at any point during a program's execution, including by other procedures or itself. The important features of Procedural Programming. 1. Programs are organized in the form of subroutines and all data items are global. 2. Program controls are through jump(goto) and calls to subroutines 3. Subroutines are abstracted to avoid repetitions. 4. Suitable for medium sized software application 5. Difficult to maintain and enhance the program code. K E Narayana
Javascript is the main language used, but there are some other scripting languages used too.
