    Definition - What Does High-Level Language (HLL) Mean?

    High-level languages enable simpler programming that is independent of hardware architecture. They abstract away low-level components like memory and registers, focusing instead on programming logic. High-level languages are designed for humans and are easier to learn and implement than low-level languages. However, programs in high-level languages like BASIC, C/C++ and Java must be interpreted into machine language before execution.

    Definition - What does High-Level Language (HLL) mean?

    High-level language is any programming language that enables development of a program


    in much simpler programming context and is generally independent of the computer's
    hardware architecture.

    High-level language has a higher level of abstraction from the computer, and focuses more
    on the programming logic rather than the underlying hardware components such as
    memory addressing and register utilization.

    Techopedia explains High-Level Language (HLL)


    High level languages are designed to be used by the human operator or the programmer.
    They are referred to as "closer to humans." In other words, their programming style and
    context is easier to learn and implement, and the entire code generally focuses on the
    specific program to be created. 

    High-level language doesn’t require addressing hardware constraints to a greater extent


    when developing a program. However, every single program written in a high level
    language must be interpreted into machine language before being executed by the
    computer. 

    BASIC, C/C++ and Java are popular examples of high-level languages.

    Definition - What does Low-Level Language mean?


    Low-level language is a programming language that deals with a computer's hardware
    components and constraints. It has no or a minute level of abstraction in reference to a
    computer and works to manage a computer's operational semantics. 

    Low-level language may also be referred to as a computer’s native language.

    Techopedia explains Low-Level Language


    Low-level languages are designed to operate and handle the entire hardware and
    instructions set architecture of a computer directly. 

    Low-level languages are considered to be closer to computers. In other words, their prime
    function is to operate, manage and manipulate the computing hardware and components.
    Programs and applications written in low-level language are directly executable on the
    computing hardware without any interpretation or translation.

    Machine language and assembly language are popular examples of low level languages.
