The first high-level programming language was called FORTRAN, which stands for "Formula Translation." It was created in 1957 by John Backus (IBM) to help scientists and engineers write programs more easily.

Is C considered a high-level or low-level programming language?

C is considered a high-level programming language.


What is High Level Language Programs?

High-level language programming is usually a mixture of words or phrases of the English language. High-level languages have several advantages over machine or assembly languages; they are easier to learn and use, and the resulting programs are easier to read and modify. A few of the High-level programs are Ada, ALgol, BASIC, COBOL, C, C++, FORTRAN, LISP, Pascal and also Prolog.


Why is a high level language less error prone?

High level languages are far more descriptive and, generally, more like a natural language. In my experience, it has been a lot easier to make a typo in a low level language because you are doing things like directly accessing memory locations and using registers for storage.


Is binary code an example of a high level language?

I wouldn't think so, since you can't really "fluently speak binary"


What is a computer compiler and how does it function in the process of translating high-level programming languages into machine code?

A computer compiler is a software tool that translates high-level programming languages into machine code that a computer can understand and execute. It functions by analyzing the source code written in a high-level language, checking for errors, and converting it into a lower-level language, such as assembly language or machine code. This process involves several stages, including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, optimization, and code generation. The compiler generates an executable file that can be run on a computer, allowing the program to perform the desired tasks.

True or false question Lower level language must first be converted to high level language make it slower?

False. You cannot convert low-level language to high-level language, you can only convert from a high-level to a low-level. However, all languages, whether high-level or low-level, must ultimately be converted to machine code in order to execute.

Not necessarily. Any language with an object-oriented approach will be a high-level language, but a high-level language does not have to use an object-oriented approach.
