There are two types of programming languages: high-level languages and low-level languages. High-level languages are closer to human languages and provide more abstraction from machine-level instructions, while low-level languages like assembly language closely map to processor instructions. Programs written in high-level languages need to be translated into machine code using compilers or interpreters, while low-level language programs are assembled directly into machine code. Common examples of high-level languages include C++, Java, and Python, while assembly language and Basic are examples of low-level languages.
High level and Low level Language
- 1. PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES Made by: Zain Bilal Khan G X Olevel
- 2. WHAT IS A PROGRAM? A program is a specific set of ordered operations for a computer to perform a particular task
- 3. TYPES OF LANGUAGES. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF LANGUAGES: 1. High level language 2. Low level language
- 4. 1. HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE A high-level language is a programming language It enables a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent of a particular type of computer. Such languages are considered high-level because they are closer to human languages and further from machine languages.
- 5. 2.LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE. In computer science, a low-level programming language is a programming language It provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture—commands or functions in the language map closely to processor instructions. Generally this refers to either machine code or assembly language.
- 6. TRANSLATORS A translator is a computer program that performs the translation of a program written in a given programming language into a functionally equivalent program in a different computer language.
- 7. TRANSLATORS USE IN HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF TRANSLATORS USED IN HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE: 1.COMPILER 2. INTERPRETER
- 8. 1. COMPILER A compiler is a computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language)
- 9. 2. INTERPRETER An interpreter is a computer program that reads a statement from a program written in a high level language, performs the action specified and the does the same with the next statement and so on.
- 10. TRANSLATOR USE IN LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE. THERE IS ONE TYPE OF TRANSLATOR USED IN LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE: 1. Assembler
- 11. 1. ASSEMBLER An assembler is a computer program that translates a program written in an assembly language into machine code so that it can be directly use by a computer to perform a required task.
- 12. EXAMPLES OF HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS. 1. C++ 2. Delphi. 3. Java. 4 Pascal. 5. Python. 6. Visual basic.
- 13. EXAMPLES OF LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS. 1. Basic. 2. Fortran.
