perform and accomplish a task. This set of instructions is called programming language syntax.
Q. No. 3 Briefly explain three types of programming language. Also explain the difference between them?
There are three types of programming languages:
Machine Language: Machine language is a low-level language made up of binary numbers or
bits that a computer can understand. Machine language is easier for the computer to
understand but harder for the programmer to understand. This is because machine language is
simply the language of machines— bits.
Assembly Language: An assembly language is a type of programming language that translates
high level language into machine language. It is a necessary bridge between software programs
and their underlying hardware platforms.
High Level Language: High-level languages are programming languages that are designed to
allow humans to write computer programs and interact with a computer system without having
to have specific knowledge of the processor or hardware that the program will run on.
