Q

Machine language

A

− lowest level of programming language
− handles binary data
− directly interacts with system
− not portable and non-readable to humans

Q

Assembly language

A

− a middle-level language
− consists of a set of instructions in a specific format called
commands
− uses symbols to represent field of instructions
− very close to machine level language
− should have an assembler to translate assembly level program
to machine level program
− in human-readable format and takes lesser time to write a
program and debug it

Q

High-level language

A

− uses format or language that is most familiar to users
− instructions in this language are called codes or scripts
− needs a compiler and interpreter to convert high-level
language program to machine level language
− examples: C++, Python, Java
− easy to write and is less time-consuming
− human-readable language
