High, low and middle refers to the amount of abstraction within the programming language. Computers only understand their own native code, what we call machine-level code, or simply machine code. Writing machine code is extremely difficult because it is written entirely in binary. To make things easier, programmers use programming languages which the computer can easily convert into its own native machine code simply by programming it to perform the conversion for us. These programs are known as assemblers, compilers or interpreters depending on how the conversion is performed.
Low-level languages have very little abstraction and use assemblers to perform the translation. Thus all assembly languages are considered low-level languages. They are also known as second generation languages, where machine code is the first generation language.
All other languages are third generation languages. Although there have been attempts to re-classify some of the third-generation languages with higher generations (fourth, fifth, etc), these terms have no actual meaning and have never been standardised.
All third-generation languages (and above) are known as the high-level languages. These usually have an extremely high degree of abstraction, such that the code you write bears little resemblance to the machine code.
Middle-level languages are really just high-level languages that have a lower level of abstraction than most other high-level languages. If you were to list all high-level programming languages in descending order of abstraction, middle-level languages would be at or near the bottom of the list. C and C++ are typical examples. Generally, a middle-level language is a high-level language where there is very rarely the need to use a more low-level language. Both C and C++ fall into this category.

Why c plus plus is not a middle level language?
C++ is a high-level language with low-level features, including memory pointer variables, therefore it is an intermediate-level language. In other words, it is a middle-level language. It cannot be regarded in any other way, because it is not as low-level as assembler, but it is as low-level as C, and can also be as high-level as Java.
Why 'c' is a middle level language?
No reason. To tell the truth, there is no such thing as 'middle level language'. Assembly and machine code are low level languages, everything else is high level.
What is mid level language?
A language that allows you to combine high-level programming with low-level programming. C and C++ are generally regarded as being mid-level languages.
Is c is a middle or high or low level language?
High. (Note: Congratulations, you are the 1001st to ask this question.)
Is C is an High Level Language?
c is basically middle level language.assembly level language is the low level language which is the close to computers.C language comes in the category of middle level language with other languages like pascal,fortran.The successor language of C i.e. C++ and Java are high level language. Because they easy to understand by human than C.
How to convert low level language into high level language?
lang are convert into low level language by
What are the simalarities of high and low level programming?
high level language; is a computer language that is near to human language. high level programming is a process of programming high level language.Example,c++,java,cobol are one of them. The reverse is true for the low level language.
Why c is called as middle level language?
Misunderstanding. There are no 'middle level languages', only low and high level languages. Machine code and assembly are the former, everything else is the latter.C is often called a middle-level computer language as it combines the elements of high-level languages with the functionalism of assembly language. But actually it doesn't have any Assembly-like feature (whatever that means).
Difference between high level language and low level language in tabular form?
high level language are easier to learn
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.
Difference between highlevel programming language and low level programming language and middle level programming language?
High level programming is drag & drop, easy peasy programming. In the objects you use to create something ( program, graphics). The components are made up of middle level programming. A language that is easier to remember than zeros & one's...which is a low-level language that integrated chips use to work.
Why C language is called mid level language justify with an example?
C language support bit-level manipulation that are normally done in assembly or machine level language. C reduce the gap between high level and low level language. So, it's called as middle level language.
