|
|
A programming language with many commands and features designed to make common tasks easier to program. Any high level functionality is encapsulated as combinations of low level commands.
|
|
|
A programming language that captures only the most primitive operations available to a machine. Anything that a computer can do can be represented with combinations of low level commands.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Low level programming language: A programming language that captures only the most primitive operations available to a machine. Anything that a computer can do can be represented with combinations of low level commands.
Detailed explanation-2: -C and C++ are now considered low-level languages because they have no automatic memory management.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is Assembly language. Two common types of low-level programming languages are assembly language and machine language. Examples of high-level programming languages in active use today include Python, Visual Basic, Delphi, Perl, PHP, ECMAScript, Ruby, C#, Java.
Detailed explanation-4: -Machine language is a first generation language written using 1s and 0s. It was hard for humans to use and they made mistakes easily. It is a low level language that is machine dependent. This means it can only work on the computer it was designed for.
