Study Notes
Characteristics of High-Level Programming Languages
- Easily interpreted and understood by humans
- Code is easy to interpret, and errors are easily solved
- Not memory efficient, resulting in slower program execution
- Cross-platform, allowing code to be executed on any platform
- 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
- Programming languages are categorized into high-level and low-level languages, with further subcategories
