私たちが普段使っている日本語や英語などの「自然言語」は、人と人がコミュニケーションするための言葉です。感情やニュアンスをこめたり、文法が少しくらい間違っていても、なんとなく伝わる柔軟さがあります。それに対して、プログラミング言語(別名:人工言語、形式言語、コンピュータ言語など)は、コンピュータに正確な命令を出すために設計された特別な言葉です。1文字でも間違うと動かなくなることがあり、とても厳密なルールにしたがって書く必要があります。
このクイズでは、「自然言語」と「プログラミング言語」のちがいを、10問の2択形式で楽しく学べます。それぞれの特徴を見分けながら、言葉のしくみにも少し興味を持ってみましょう。ボタンを押すと正解が表示されるので、気軽に挑戦してみてください!
The languages we use in daily life—like Japanese, English, and others—are called natural languages. These languages developed naturally among humans to communicate with one another. Even if there are small grammatical mistakes, the intended meaning often gets across through tone, context, or shared understanding. Natural languages are flexible and tolerant of ambiguity.
In contrast, programming languages (also known as formal languages, artificial languages, or computer languages) are specially designed for giving precise instructions to computers. In programming languages, even a single missing character or grammatical error can result in failure to execute or produce an error message. Therefore, strict adherence to rules and syntax is essential.
This quiz will help you explore the differences between natural and programming languages through a series of two-choice questions. By understanding these differences, you’ll see why precision and structure are so important in programming. Press the button under each question to reveal the correct answer. Enjoy learning!
