Why is c referred to as middle level language?

Answer 1

C is called a middle level language since it is a higher language than something like assembler, which communicates to the computer through operations that directly manipulate data and uses machine code.

High level languages, are very close to human readable/speakable languages, such as English and French ( and many more), and are therefore more human-oriented.

Unfortunately, the C Programming language is neither a low-level language, such as assembler, or a high level language such as English, but somewhere in between. Thus a middle-level language
By mistake. It is a high-level language.

Answer 2

High level. (But if your teacher thinks otherwise, just tell them what they expect.)

C is a High Level Portable Assembly Language. Oh, and for what its worth I deliberately make a habit of contradicting teachers when I knew they were wrong, never hurt my grades once! Great entertainment and when you successfully point out their error, it proves you really are paying attention.

Of course one should know that there is no such thing as "High Level Portable Assembly Language"

Answer 3

Assembler is the low level programming language

C++ is one of the high level programming languages.

C sits between assembler and C++ and that is why C is an intermediate language.

Answer 4

C is a high-level programming language, however the level of abstraction is lower than that of many high-level languages, thus it is often regarded as being a medium-level language and thus an intermediate language.

Answer 5

Being a high level language like java..., C supports direct access to memory as assembly language (which is a low level language) . So C is called mid level language

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

1) C supports inline assembly language programs. 2) Using inline assembly language functions feature in C we can directly access system registers.

Answer 9

Misunderstanding. Ignore it.
