In the early days of computing, the dominant programming languages weresequential(such as basic or assembly language). A program consisted of a sequence of instructions, which were executed one after the other. It ran from start to finish on a single processor.

C is sequential id est procedural - it has no abstraction layer to facilitate the object oriented programming paradigm... However this can be coded in if required and is - in the case of objective C. Procedural or sequential programming basically means that the program in question is broken down into a sequence of steps or instructions and these are followed in order to make the program function. This is done in a linear fashion.

Due to being sequential and procedural C does not have the "Bloat" of the C++ object oriented programming model. Therefore the programs are smaller and generally faster.

What is the difference between software programming and hardwired programming?

(d) Hardware programming languages are concurrent in nature and executed a piece of code in parallel while a software programming language are sequential in nature and executed a piece of code sequentially.


Is XML a programming language?

It is programming languages that are referred to in terms of "high level" and "low level".Extensible Markup Language(XML) is a markup language not a programming language, it is a data formatting specification that makes the presentation of data independent of programs (so that data can be passed between programs).For this reason the answer to your question is "neither".

What is the difference between parallel execution and sequential execution in programming?

I believe that at the right level of abstraction, it is not and in fact can be as easy as sequential programming. Note, however, that "at the right level of abstraction" should be considered with care. Pragmatically there are some problems today with taking advantage of the "easiness" of parallel programming.
