More memory efficient than high-level languages
|
Detailed explanation-1: -High-level languages do not provide various facilities at the hardware level. Low-level languages are very close to the hardware. They help in writing various programs at the hardware level. The process of modifying programs is very difficult with high-level programs.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is less memory efficient, i.e., it consumes more memory in comparison to low-level languages. Examples of high-level languages include C, C++, Java, and Python. It is widely used.
Detailed explanation-3: -In terms of programming, a high-level programming language is one which has a relatively high level of abstraction, and manipulates conceptual functions in a structured manner. A low-level programming language is one like assembly language that contains commands closer to processor instructions.
Detailed explanation-4: -The memory is further divided in Low memory (or Normal memory), which is directly mapped to kernel’s part of the address space and High memory, which has no direct kernel mapping. In other words:-The kernel itself (including its active modules, e.g. Check Point kernel modules) can only make use of LOW memory.
