Comparative Analysis of the Efficiency in Programming Languages: A Case of Study

Software development is conditioned in many cases by the programming language chosen. Nowadays there are many programming languages, each with different characteristics, so they are different from each other in terms of their performance. A comparison of the computational efficiency of these languages will allow us to have an objective point of view when choosing one of them, and it will also allow us to know the characteristics of the languages that are not obvious in many cases. To test them, a series of programming languages and several algorithms have been selected. The algorithms have been implemented using these languages and the execution time of each one has been determined, which makes it possible to make a comparison that allows us to characterize them.
