[DUPLICATE] How and why is HTML not a programming language?

Question

Hi everyone, how is HTML not a programming language?

I need explanations.

I want to be cleared on this!!!

Answer 1

HTML was designed as a universal format of making scientific documents and sharing scientific information If you have used html,you may probably know that it just only says which elements are belong to which type. To consider something as a programming language,it should have the capabilities to write instructions to control something.Html does not do that,instead it just says the browser the types of each element.Therefore HTML is not considered as a 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. ... This is because HTML is not a programming language.

Answer 3

Try Object Oriented Programming in HTML.. you can't :) that's one of the reasons why people maybe won't call it a programming language, but still.. it depends on taste if you want to call it like that or not.

Answer 4

I think I am beginning to understand it...
