Exploring Programming Languages Quiz

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.
