It is the lowest-level programming language
which is referred as machine code and
object code.

Machine language consists of 0’s and 1’s.

It is a machine dependent language.


ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE (AL)

Assembly language is a low level programming language for computers, microprocessors


and other programmable devices.

understood by the microprocessor.

The software used to convert an assembly program into machine codes is called an
assembler.
High-level language is any programming
language that enables development of a
program in much simpler programming
context.
It’s a machine independent language.

HIGH LEVEL High level languages are designed to be


used by the human operator or the
LANGUAGE programmer.
 Examples :Visual Basic, C++, FORTRAN,
(HLL) COBOL, JAVA,PYTHON,JAVASCRIPT
The softwares used to convert an HLL into
machine codes is called translators. The 2
types of translators are interpreter and
compiler.
Interpreter is a language
processor that translates high
level language (Source program)
to machine language (object
program) line by line.
INTERPRETER
HLL that uses Interpreter are
Visual Basic, Python
COMPILER

Compiler is a language
processor that
completely translates HLL that uses compiler
high level language are, C++, COBOL, and
(Source program) to JAVA
