I just changed my major to software developing. The only experience I have is 1 basic java programming class in high school.

What are the different languages and what are their purposes?

List of programming languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

What they're used for: To program shit.

Stupid questions get stupid answers in the IT field.

How's it a stupid question if the person asking it is unknowledageable about the field and wants to talk with people who have experience? That was an unthoughtful response.

Reconstruct your question into something more specific. Maybe include specific language.

Else you will just get a giant list of

C: To make computer shit work
Java: To make computer shit work
C++: To make computer shit work
C#: To make computer shit work
Ruby: To make computer shit work.

There are also probably over a hundred languages.

I'll break the standard and try to be helpful. Now to be fair - you asked sort of a bad question.

What are your interests? Do you want to do web development? Mobile app development? game development? Desktop applications?

Some Web Languages:
ASP.net/C#
PHP
HTML
Ruby
Javascript

Some Desktop Application Languages:
Java
C
C++

Scripting Languages:
Python
Perl
Javascript
Ruby
PHP
Bash

Android Development:
Java

iOS Development:
Objective-C


If you have more specific questions I or someone else could probably help you better.

A very miniature list for such a broad question. OP should be happy.

But you forgot

Web languages:
C
C++
Python
VB6
C#
ANY LANGUAGE WHICH ALLOWS FOR SOCKET PROGRAMING

Desktop Applications:
ANY DAN LANGUAGE PRETTY MUCH

Scripting languages:
Okay well I can't complain here

Android Development:
Can also use ruby and other languages now via the jruby interpreter.

It's just a broad and stupid question really.

Yeah I get that. I wasn't giving a completely comprehensive list - I was just naming some of the more common languages for specific applications.

There's no point in beating the dead horse of "bad question". I think he gets it, so I was trying to point him in the right direction to be thinking about what it is he really wants.

basically, here is the ultimate TL;DR -


If you didn't google your question before asking it on this forum, you might want to reconsider the degree

you forgot polish

Code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

#define grawitacja 9.81

float CzasSpadku(float h)
{
return(sqrt(2.0*h/grawitacja));
}
float predkosc(float h)
{
return(grawitacja*CzasSpadku(h));
}
float Vkmh(float v)
{
return(3.6*v);
}
int main()
{
float w;

printf("Podaj wysokosc w metrach : ");
scanf ("%f",&w);
printf("Wysokosc : %0.2f [m]\n", w);
printf("Czas : %0.2f \n", CzasSpadku(w));
printf("P{redkosc : %0.2f [m/s]\n", predkosc(w));
printf("Predkosc : %0.2f [km/h]\n", Vkmh(predkosc(w)));
return (0);
}
