Please I am confused, how is html not a programming language?

Answer 1

because its a mark up language and css is a style sheet you dont code anything for either of them only put scripts inside the html document (javascript is the programming language)

Answer 2

Programming languages have functional purposes. HTML, as a markup language doesn’t really “do” anything in the sense that a programming language does. HTML contains no programming logic. It doesn’t have common conditional statements such as If/Else. It can’t evaluate expressions or do any math. It doesn’t handle events or carry out tasks. You can’t declare variables and you can’t write functions. It doesn’t modify or manipulate data in any way. HTML can’t take input and produce output. Think of it this way: you can’t compute the sum of 1 + 1 in HTML.

Answer 4

who said html is not a programming language???
HTML is a programming language but unlike other programming languages which are generally scripting languages, HTML is a markup language i.e, it uses tags to execute itself..... xml is also a programming language... css used for effective designing is also a programming language.......

Please get it cleared and respect HTML too like other programming languages
