    There are three main categories of computer languages: 1) Machine language is the lowest-level language and uses binary representations of 0s and 1s. Very few programs are written in machine language as it is difficult for humans. 2) Assembly language was developed to provide mnemonic representations for machine-level instructions. It was still difficult for programmers to use. 3) High-level languages like FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, C, and Pascal allow programmers to write instructions resembling plain English. They are easier for humans to write and understand compared to low-level languages.

    Types of computer

    languages
    As we human beings communicate with each others in different language such as Urdu,
    French, Punjabi and Arabic etc. Similarly to communicate with the computers we have to
    use specific languages and for this purpose hundreds of languages have been develop in
    which few of them has gained international reputation. C language is one of them,.
    Language can be categories broadly into three categories
    MACHINE LANGUAGE: The most elementary and first type of computer, which was
    invented, was machine language. Machine language was machine dependent. A program
    written in machine language cannot be run on another type of computer without
    significant alterations. Machine language is some times also referred as the binary
    language i-e, the language of 0 and 1 where 0 stands for the absence of electric pulse and
    i stands for the presence of electric pulse. Very few computer programs are actually
    written in machine language.
    ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE: As computer became more popular, it became quite
    apparent that machine language programming was simply too slow slow tedious for most
    programmers. Assembly languages are also called as low level language instead of using
    the string of members programmers began using English like abbreviation to represent
    the elementary operation. The language provided an opportunity to the programmers to
    use English like words that were called MNEMONICS.

    HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE: The assembly languages started using English like
    words,m but still it was difficult to learn these languages. High level languages are the
    computer language in which it is much easier to write a program than the low level
    language. A program written in high level language is just like gibing instruction to
    person in daily life. It was in 1957 that a high level language called FORTRAN was
    developed by IBM which was specially developed for scientist and engineers other high
    level languages are COBOL which is widely used for business data processing
    task.BASIC language which is developed for the beginners in general purpose
    programming language. you Can use C language for almost any programming task.
    PASCAL are other high level languages which has gained widespread acceptance
