Detailed explanation-1: -Computers only understand machine code-they do not understand high-level language code. Any high-level programming language code has to be converted to executable code. Executable code is also known as machine code which is a combination of binary code 0s and 1s.
Detailed explanation-2: -Compiler. A compiler is a computer program that translates a program written in a high-level language to the machine language of a computer.
Detailed explanation-3: -With a virtual machine, performing an instruction is a two-stage process of translating code to the host machine’s language and then executing those instructions. This is why high-level languages are slower, but more expressive, than low-level languages.
Detailed explanation-4: -C++ is the fastest programming language. It is a compiled language with a broad variety of applications that is simple to learn. C++ was the clear winner, with Java and Python coming in second and third, respectively.
