LOW LEVEL
LANGUAGES

A low-level language is a programming


language that is very close to machine
code (0s and 1s).
It is difficult for programmers to write
and understand.
However, programs written in low-level
languages execute faster than those in
high-level languages, since they directly
communicate with the computer.
Examples: Machine Language, Assembly
Language.
high LEVEL
LANGUAGES
A high-level language is a programming
language that is closer to human language
and easier to read, write, and understand.
.
Programs written in high-level languages
may run slower than low-level ones because
they need to be translated (compiled or
interpreted) into machine code.

Examples: Python, Java, C++, JavaScript.

C is a mid level language
