What are the disadvanteges of high level programming language?

Answer 1

Depends on the purpose of the program your creating. Generally speaking high level languages require far more system resources than low level languages. So if you were writing embedded code on a microcontroller, writing in Java would be a big no no as you'd barely be able to do anything whereas in C or assembler you could write a functional and useful program. (C is often used for faster development and high accuracy whereas assembler can be moulded to high performance low accuracy).

Answer 2

Advantages:

-Easier to write

-Faster to write

-Easier to debug

-Often offers possibilities that you would have to implement yourself in low-level languages

-Usually much more intuitive

Disadvantages:

-Slower that low-level languages

-Usually no manual memory management/pointers

-Requires use of interpreters or Virtual Machines

Answer 3

The disadvantage is that a program written in a high-level language is less efficient (uses more time, and runs slower) than one written in a low-level language. However, for most purposes, the advantages of the high-level programming languages outweigh this: it won't be remotely possible to create the programs we have today in machine language, for example.

Answer 4

The higher the level the more choises humans have to make in what language is best for the program the humans need to write

Answer 5

High level is closer to the human language than low level, so it is much easier to read,write and understand.
