A visual programming language uses different interconnected blocks to create programs rather than complete text coding. This is mainly used in robotics. Various movements of the robot are specified in different action blocks and the robot function is achieved by connecting the blocks in the required fashion.
The simplest VPL is the one shipped with Lego robots. Its really easy to use. Different code blocks are there which control different parts of the robot. We arrange them and connect them to create the motion flow.
The language features almost all concepts in modern programming languages. Branching, looping etc are also there. The most important thing to notice is that Parallel programming is built into VPL languages.
LabView is one famous VPL thats used for industrial applications such as data acquisition and control.
