|
A classic method for learning programming with commands to control movement and drawing of an on-screen robot called a “turtle". The turtle hearkens back to early implementations in which children programmed a physical robot whose dome-like shape was reminiscent of a turtle.

|
A named group of programming instructions. Functions are reusable abstractions that reduce the complexity of writing and maintaining programs.
|
|
|
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: -The only true low level programming is machine code or assembly (asm). Assembly is as close as possible to what the CPU (the computer’s processor) can execute, as it is literally a text translation of the binary code which the CPU understands.
Detailed explanation-2: -Low-level languages are designed to operate and handle the entire hardware and instructions set architecture of a computer directly. Low-level languages are considered to be closer to computers. In other words, their prime function is to operate, manage and manipulate the computing hardware and components.
Detailed explanation-3: -low-level language: A programming language that is designed to be easy for a computer to run. Also called “machine language” or “assembly language.”
