High level language and low level language

A high-level language is one that is user-oriented in that it has been designed to make it
straightforward for a programmer to convert an algorithm into program code. A low-level language is
machine-oriented. Low-level programs are expressed in terms of the machine operations that must be
performed to carry out a task.

Both High level language and low level language are the programming languages’s
types. The main difference between high level language and low level language is that,
Programmers can easily understand or interpret or compile the high level language in
comparison of machine. On the other hand, Machine can easily understand the low level
language in comparison of human beings. Examples of high level languages are C, C++,
Java, Python, etc. Let’s see the difference between high level and low level languages:

1. It is programmer friendly language. It is a machine friendly language.

High level language is less memory
2.
efficient.
3. It is easy to understand.
4. Debugging is easy.
5. It is simple to maintain.
6. It is portable.
7. It can run on any platform.
It needs compiler or interpreter for
8.
translation.
9. It is used widely for programming.
Low level language is high memory efficient.
It is tough to understand.
Debugging is complex comparatively.
It is complex to maintain comparatively.
It is non-portable.
It is machine-dependent.
It needs assembler for translation.
It is not commonly used now-a-days in
programming.

The main difference between high level language and low level language is that,
Programmers can easily understand or interpret or compile the high level language in
comparison of machine. On the other hand, Machine can easily understand the low level
language in comparison of human beings.
