When you have no prior idea of programming from before, then it is best if you start by learning the easy programming languages.  A programming language is a formal language, which comprises a set of instructions that produce various kinds of output. Programming languages are used in computer programming to implement algorithms.

Coding with entry-level programming languages is not very difficult. It is actually quite fun and interesting. As a newbie in programming, it is understandable for one to be confused and looking for the easiest programming language to start their coding journey.

To help you with this, we have mentioned some of the easy-to-learn programming languages with their brief description.

1.<h2><b>Objective-C</b></h2>

<a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ProgrammingWithObjectiveC/Introduction/Introduction.html">Objective-C</a> is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. It was the main programming language supported by Apple for macOS, iOS, and their respective application programming interfaces (APIs), Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, until the introduction of Swift in 2014.

Objective-C is a superset of C and inherits syntax, primitive types, and flow control statements of C programming language. It adds syntax for defining classes and methods and provides dynamic runtime capabilities.

Objective-C source code 'implementation' program files usually have .m filename extensions, while Objective-C 'header/interface' files have .h extensions, the same as C header files. Objective-C++ files are denoted with a .mm file extension.

2.<h2><b>C++</b></h2>

<a href="https://www.cplusplus.com/">C++</a> is a high-level, general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language, or "C with Classes". The language has expanded significantly over time, and modern C++ has object-oriented, generic, and functional features in addition to facilities for low-level memory manipulation.

C++ was designed with a bias toward system programming and embedded, resource-constrained software and large systems, with performance, efficiency, and flexibility of use as its design highlights. C++ has also been found useful in many other contexts, with key strengths being software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications, including desktop applications, video games, servers (e.g. e-commerce, Web search, or SQL servers), and performance-critical applications (e.g. telephone switches or space probes).

Talking from the beginner's perspective, C++ is one of the easiest languages that you can learn. Not only this but C++ shares the basics with many other programming languages, giving you an edge when learning other languages too.


3.<h2><b>C#</b></h2>

<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/">C#</a> (pronounced see sharp) is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, lexically scoped, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines.

It is as simple as C and C++ with some additional features.

4.<h2><b>Java</b></h2>

<a href="https://java.com/">Java</a> is a general-purpose <a href="https://codersera.com/blog/best-programming-languages-for-beginners/">programming language</a> that is class-based, object-oriented, and designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers write once, run anywhere (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. 

Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying computer architecture. The syntax of Java is similar to C and C++, but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them. As of 2019, Java was one of the most popular programming languages in use according to GitHub, particularly for client-server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers.

It is also commonly used as a server-side language for enterprise-level backend development (90% of fortune 500 companies use Java). As a general-purpose language, Java is dominating the software industry and is used everywhere from building Android apps to desktop apps and games.

5.<h2><b>Swift</b></h2>

<a href="https://developer.apple.com/swift/">Swift</a> is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language developed by Apple Inc. for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, Linux, and z/OS. Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C code written for Apple products.

Swift is a fast and efficient language that provides real-time feedback and can be seamlessly incorporated into existing Objective-C code. Swift is easy to use and open source programming language, so anyone who wants to create something exciting and new must learn Swift.

Hope this helps you.
