A well-designed program written in a low-level language, such as assembler, will often require less system memory, CPU cycles, and disk space than an equivalent program written in a higher level language, such as C or C++. Given the complexity of modern programs, low level languages are usually employed to optimize inefficient loops to squeeze extra performance out of the hardware, rather than entire programs being written in a low-level language. For example, if a developer can gain a 20% increase by writing a data loading module in a low level language, they usually will not do so, but if the main loop of a 3D rendering module of a real-time 3D rendering engine can be optimized to gain 20% in speed, it may be vital to the project. Note that 20% is just an arbitrary number; the usual gains from converting a program to a low level language are usually far more modest.

Why will you prefer low level language to a high level language?

A high level language naturally assumes the intentions of the programmer and thus blocks off many otherwise possible methods. For those that prefer to have a high level of control, a low level language is the obvious choice. The level of the language is inversely proportionate to the degree of control the programmer has. ie. low level language = high level of control, and vice versa.


Which language is c language?

If you mean what type of language is the C Programming language, it is a high-level, statically compiled, procedural programming language. It is often described as one of the most "low-level" of the high-level languages, in that is it very adaptable for programming "close" to the hardware, while still retaining the advantages of portability, flexibility, and human comprehesiblity common to high-level languages.

What is the advantages of high level languages to low level languages?

High Level Language: High level language are easier to use and less technical skills are required to do a program. It is very useful where textual data is given priority. Troubleshooting doesn't takes a longer time. We get to know the errors very easily. Low Level Language: Low level language are not easily read at a glance and very high technical skill are required to do a program. Troubleshooting takes a longer time. They can produce stunning graphics.
