Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A high-level language is closer than a low-level language to the machine code that the computer can execute
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The high-level language is a programming language that allows a programmer to write the programs which are independent of a particular type of computer. The high-level languages are considered as high-level because they are closer to human languages than machine-level languages.

Detailed explanation-2: -High Level Languages These programmer friendly languages are called ‘high level’ as they are far removed from the machine code instructions understood by the computer. Examples include: C++, Java, Pascal, Python, Visual Basic. Our Translators page explains how high-level languages are translated into machine code.

Detailed explanation-3: -Assembly Language: The language closest to machine language is assembly language. It uses a simple code that is very closely aligned to the way machine language was written.

Detailed explanation-4: -A high-level language (HLL) is a programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal that enables a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent of a particular type of computer. Such languages are considered high-level because they are closer to human languages and further from machine languages.

Detailed explanation-5: -Low-level languages are machine-friendly. They are, thus, very difficult to understand and learn by any human. High-level languages do not depend on machines. Low-level languages are machine-dependent and thus very difficult to understand by a normal user.
