Detailed explanation-1: -High level language is much closer to human language so it is more suitable to write code in high level language. It is more or less independent of the particular type of computer used (i.e. more portable) and has its own set of rules called syntax. Its main advantage is that it is easier to read, write and maintain.
Detailed explanation-2: -High-level languages are generally easier to learn but give you less control over the computer. Low-level languages tend to be the exact opposite: harder to learn but give more control over the computer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Programmers write in high-level languages because they are easier to understand and are less complex than machine code. They allow the programmer to focus on what needs to be done, rather than on how the computer actually works.
Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of high-level programming languages in active use today include Python, JavaScript, Visual Basic, Delphi, Perl, PHP, ECMAScript, Ruby, C#, Java and many others.
