September 25, 2024
There are basically two types of computer programming languages, they are –
- Low Level Programming Languages - Low-level languages are designed to operate and handle the entire hardware and instructions set architecture of a computer directly.
e.g., Machine Language and Assembly Language are popular examples of low-level languages.
- High Level Programming Languages - These are the machine independent programming languages, which are easy to write, read, edit and understand.
e.g., The languages like Java, .Net (C#), C++, C etc. are the example of high-level languages.
NOTE: Middle Level programming language - Since, there is no such category of computer programming languages, but the programming languages that have features of low level and high level programming languages come under this category.
Hence, we can say that the programming languages which have features of Low Level as well as High Level programming languages known as "Middle Level" programming language.
C programming languages is the best example of Middle Level Programming languages as it has features of low level and high level programming languages both.
