Since when is a markup language a programming language there's a big difference

Please provide a proof for this claim.

EDITED SAME LINKS as before which you didnt bother to read

STILL WAITING YOUR HTML ONLY FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

So your argument is that programming language suppose to be able to do Fibonacci numbers. Ok. But it has nothing to do with the name, right? That what I tried to explain to you. It's two different arguments

is not two different things do you even read people's comments omg

a programming language is a language where you can write instructions leading to algorithms or various computations

Please code algorithms or perform computations with HTML

if you read the four links i added theyt say exactly the same. Let me quote it to you since it seems you can't even open a link

Programming Languages involve Logical Operations, Arithmetic Operation, and many Algorithms. Whereas Markup Languages just include Tags to define the elements.

A programming language is the proper and formal language that has been designed to allow programmers to communicate instructions to a computer. Programming language is used to create programs.

Programming language is used to transform data by creating CPU instruction that will rewrite the input data into the desired output. This is a language that encodes programs, meaning that a word in the language can be interpreted as a sequence of actions.

 In simple terms, programming languages are set of instructions or code which tells a computer what it needs to do. So basically, we provide a logic or instruction to the computer to perform some task to get the desired output from it.

Wikipedia cause you probably forgot to read that too:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_...

A programming language is a formal language comprising a set of instructions that produce various kinds of output. Programming languages are used in computer programming to implement algorithms.

Algorithms, algorithms, algorithms
Maybe you don't know what that is and hence your confusion. With your lack of motivation to instruct yourself and learn new things:
From the oxford dictionary

A documented series of steps which leads to the transformation of some data. For example, in order to calculate the sum of a series of numbers a possible algorithm would involve repeatedly adding the numbers to be summed to a running total. Computer programs are a manifestation of algorithms which allow them to be executed very quickly.

And for the sake of it the Cambridge one:

a set of mathematical instructions or rules that, especially if given to a computer, will help to calculate an answer to a problem.

So please do code a nice efficient algorithm in HTML or a Mathematical Operation I gave you examples earlier but you ignored them like half the texts that don't go in your direction

So i'll defo accept HTML as a Programming Language the day it is renamed HTPL or the day someone makes a proper algorithm in HTML only.

Per the official body that handles HTML development:

HTML is the World Wide Web's core markup language. Originally, HTML was primarily designed as a language for semantically describing scientific documents.

Still no algorithm planned for HTML6 yet though but who knows maybe 7.

Anyhow as Albert Einstein once said:

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I guess today I realized how true that statement can be.

Good luck on your future HTML algorithm if you ever manage.

Peace out

Einstein probably didn't say that quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/04/u...
