FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -High level programs require compilers/interpreters to translate source code to machine language. We can compile the source code written in high level language to multiple machine languages. Thus, they are machine independent language.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is a machine-independent language. It enables a user to write a program in a language that resembles English words and familiar mathematical symbols, COBOL was the first high-level language.

Detailed explanation-3: -High-level languages require the use of a compiler or an interpreter for their translation into the machine code. Low-level language requires an assembler for directly translating the instructions of the machine language. These languages have a very low memory efficiency.

Detailed explanation-4: -Machine languages are so closely related to the structure of a particular computer that they are said to be machine dependent. Programs written in machine language are not portable, that is, they may not be run on other computers with different machine languages.

Detailed explanation-5: -High-level language is a computer language which can be understood by the users. The high-level language is very similar to human languages and has a set of grammar rules that are used to make instructions more easily.
