It tells the browser:

• what content to display (text, images, videos)

• how that content is organized (headings, paragraphs, lists, links)

Is HTML a programming language? and why?

Is HTML a programming language? and why?

Short Answer
No, HTML is NOT a programming language.
Why HTML is NOT a Programming Language
A programming language (like JavaScript, Python, Java) can:

• Make decisions (if/else)

• Perform calculations

• Use variables

• Run logic and algorithms

HTML cannot do any of these.
Instead, HTML:

• Structures content only

• Tells the browser what things are, not what to do
