Are There Levels in Programming Languages?
Computers are complex digital devices that represent and process data using 0s
and 1s
.
They cannot understand human languages like English or other natural languages.
Therefore, programming languages act as a bridge between human and computer languages, enabling communication that both can interpret.
Programming languages are mainly divided into High-Level Languages
and Low-Level Languages
based on their similarity to human languages.
1. High-Level Language
High-Level Languages are programming languages written in a form that is closer to human languages like English, making them easier for people to understand.
Languages such as Python
, Java
, and JavaScript
are considered high-level languages.
Note: Java and JavaScript are different languages.
2. Low-Level Language
Low-Level Languages refer to more technical languages that computers can directly understand.
These languages are very similar to machine code (the language of computers) and provide direct control over a computer's memory and processor.
Assembly language is an example of a typical low-level language.
