Uses an interpreter to translate code

Characteristics of Low-Level Programming Languages

Difficult to interpret and understand for humans
Memory efficient, resulting in faster program execution
Not cross-platform, code can only be run on a specific platform
Uses an assembler to translate code

Importance of Programming Languages

A set of instructions provided to a computer, converted to machine-readable code
There are over 700 programming languages, each with different purposes and functionalities
Mastery of programming languages is a essential skill for a career in the IT industry
