FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Machine language gives instructions as 0’s and 1’s and is the only language that the computer understands. Assembly language is more concise but still very cumbersome when programming. A high-level language such as FORTRAN or C facilitates easy programming.

Detailed explanation-2: -HLL (High Level Language) programs are machine independent. They are easy to learn, easy to use, and convenient for managing complex tasks. Assembly language programs are machine specific. It is the language that the processor directly understands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Assembly language is a set of instructions which can be read by human and can be understood as well. Here instead to remember the op-codes, “mnemonics” are used. It is however less readable than high-level language. Machine language can be extremely time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone.

Detailed explanation-4: -The program that we write for one processor in an assembly language will not run on any other processor type. It means that it is processor-dependent. This language is processor-independent. It means that the programs that we write using high-level languages can easily run on any processor independent of its type.

Detailed explanation-5: -To conclude, high-level languages are more friendly for the programmer because they use English-like statements in the codes, whereas low-level languages are more machine-friendly because they use binary language codes to write the computer instructions.
