direct access to the system's resources. These languages are usually machine-dependent,
meaning that the code written in these languages can only run on a specific architecture or
processor. Low-level programming languages are generally harder to learn and use
compared to high-level languages.
Here's an example of Assembly language code that calculates the sum of two numbers and
stores the result in a register:
On the other hand, high-level programming languages are those that are easier to learn and
use compared to low-level languages. They are usually machine-independent, meaning that
the code written in these languages can run on any system that has a compatible interpreter
or compiler. High-level programming languages provide a more abstract view of the system
and offer more powerful abstractions and constructs to solve complex problems.
Here's an example of Python code that calculates the sum of the elements in a list:
sum = 0
sum += num
In summary, low-level programming languages are closer to the hardware and provide
direct access to system resources, while high-level programming languages offer more
powerful abstractions and constructs to solve complex problems and are generally easier to
learn and use.
