Programming languages can be categorized as either low-level or high-level. Low-level languages like machine language and assembly language are closer to machine instructions and specific to a particular computer, while high-level languages use syntax that more closely resembles English and can run on different computer architectures. High-level languages make programming easier for humans but require translation, such as compilation or interpretation, to machine language before a computer can execute the code.

- 1. Programming Language Itis a set of programs that instructs the computer hardware to perform specific tasks. Itis an artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer.
- 2. Programming Languages Low Level Language -Machine Language -Assembly Language High Level Language
- 3. Low Level Language Low Level Language are closer to machine language. These are understood only by the Microprocessor they are written for and written on. Low level language is a language that supports the machine side of the programming or does not provide human side of the programming
- 4. Machine Language Native tongue of a particular kind of computer. Each instruction is a binary string. This form is easiest form of computers to understand, but is most difficult for a person to understand. Only language a computer is capable of understanding without translation.
- 5. Machine Language In computer first generation, programmers had to use machine language because no other option was available. It was very difficult method of programming.
- 6. Assembly Language The first method in making software development easier and more efficient was the creation of assembly languages. They are also classified as low level languages. assembly language use mnemonic operation codes.
- 7. Assembly Language Assembly language use translator called assembler. Easier to read than binary. Difficult language than High level language
- 8. High Level Language Codes similar to everyday English Closer to the human language They are easier to read , write and maintain. They are designed to run on a number of different computers. The programmer spends less time developing software with a high level language than low level language.
- 9. High Level Language A translator is needed to convert high level language to machine language. - Compiler - Interpreter Examples: - C,C++, Pascal, FORTRAN etc
