Difference between low and high level languages

Low level language: -

It is actually initial computer language. It is categorized into two types

(1) Machine language (2) Assembly

(1) Machine language: -

It is the directly computer understood language. That computer language with does not need convert into any other interface or language for the understanding of computer. This language consists of binary digit these are (0, 1).

(2) Assembly language: -

It is low level language but one step higher then machine language. This language is always needed to first convert in to machine language and then computer can understood it. For this purpose a converter program “Assembler”.
High level language: - The programming languages that are close to human language are called high level language. The instructions in those languages are more like human language. Unlike low level language, these languages are sassier to learn. These languages are BASIC, FORTRAN, COBEL, PASCAL, C, C ++, etc. These languages are used for writing application programs. Every high level language has its own set of rules for writing program.

These rules are called the syntax of the language. A program written in a high level language is called source program or source code. Source code cannot be run directly on the computer. It is first translated or converted into the machine language. The application that is used to convert a source program into machine program is called compiler.
