Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which level would create the fastest code to execute?

A	Low
B	Assembly
C	High
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -C++ is the fastest programming language. It is a compiled language with a broad variety of applications that is simple to learn. C++ was the clear winner, with Java and Python coming in second and third, respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-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: -1949: Assembly language was first used as a type of computer programming language that was able to simplify machine code language, which is necessary for telling a computer what to do. 1952: Alick Glennie developed Autocode, which some consider to be the first compiled computer programming language.
