Study Notes
Programming Language Types
-
Assembly Language
- Uses symbolic names (mnemonics) to represent machine-level instructions.
- Provides a one-to-one correspondence between its instructions and the specific machine code for a given architecture.
-
Low-Level Language
- Specifically tailored to the architecture of a particular computer system.
- Enables direct manipulation of hardware and system resources, optimizing performance.
-
Machine Language
- Consists entirely of binary code (0s and 1s) that is directly executed by the computer's CPU.
- Represents the most fundamental level of instructions understood by a computer.
-
High-Level Language
- Designed to be easy for humans to read and write.
- Abstracts complex operations and provides features such as control structures and data types for efficient program development.
-
Cross-Platform Language
- Capable of running on multiple operating systems and hardware configurations with minimal or no changes needed to the source code.
- Facilitate code portability, allowing developers to use the same codebase across different environments.
