High-level and low-level programming language

What is a Programming Language?
A programming language is nothing but a language used by a
programmer to communicate with the computer. As a computer
understands a language called Binary language and we humans
understand English, a language was needed to communicate and
operate the computers. There are many programming languages like C,
C++, Java, Python, etc. Programmers use any of these languages to
write instructions called programs for a specific task to be done. There
are two types of Programming Languages. They are,
1. Low-level Programming Language
2. High-level Programming Language


1. Low-level Programming Language
Low-level language is similar to binary language. It is designed to
operate the computer hardware directly. Programs written in low-level
language do not require any interpretation or compilation for execution
unlike that of a high-level language, which makes it advantageous in
one way. But, as it is close to binary language, writing programs in this
language becomes difficult. There are 2 types of low-level programming
languages. They are,
i. Machine code or Machine Language
ii. Assembly language


i. Machine code or Machine Language
Machine language is a language that uses 0s and 1s. It gets executed
directly by the processor. It takes the least time to get executed.
