    This document discusses low-level and high-level computer languages. Low-level languages like machine code and assembly languages provide little abstraction from hardware and consist of binary codes. High-level languages like C++, Visual Basic, and Java allow problem solving using terminology closer to human language. They are easier to use but less efficient than low-level languages. The document provides examples and characteristics of different generations of languages from 1GL machine code to more modern and abstract 3GL languages.

    DEFINATION OF COMPUTER

    LANGUAGES
    A computer languages are the
    languages by which a user
    command a computer to work on
    the algorithm which a user has
    written to get an output.
    Two types of computer languages
    Low-level languages
    High-level languages
    Lower Level Languages
    A low-level programming language is a
    programming language that provides little
    or no abstraction from a computers
    instruction set architecture. It consists of
    numeric codes i.e. 0 & 1. These codes are
    easily understandable to computer but
    difficult to human. A lower-level language is
    used in two generations of computer
    First generation
    Second generation
    First generation languages
    (1GL)
    Represent the very early
    , primitive computer
    languages that
    considered entirely of 1s
    and 0s the actual
    language that the
    computer
    understands(machine
    language)
    Second generation languages (2GL)

    Represent a step up from the


    first generation languages .
    Allow for the use of symbolic
    names instead of just numbers.
    Second generation languages
    are known as assembly
    languages.
    Code written in an assembly
    language is converted into
    machine language (1GL)
    CHARACTERSTICS OF LOW LEVEL
    LANGUAGES
    Direct memory management
    Little-to-no abstraction from the
    hardware
    Register access
    Superb performance
    Advantages
    Computational speed is very fast.
    Directly understandable by
    computer.

    Disadvantages
    Development of program in machine
    language is very time consuming.
    Error correction is tedious process.
    HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGES
    High-level programming languages allow
    the specification of a problem solution in
    terms closer to those used by human
    beings.
    These languages were designed to make
    programming far easier , less error and to
    remove the programmer from having to
    know the details of the internal structure of
    a particular computer.
    This language is used in third generation.
    Third generation languages
    (3GL)
    First introduced in the late 1950s
    3GLs are much more machine
    independent and more programmer-
    friendly
    Third generation languages are also
    know as high level languages.
    Most popular general-purpose
    languages today, such asC,C+
    +,JAVA,VISUAL BASIC , etc are also
    third-generation languages.
    TYPES
    C++
    Visual basic
    Java
    Javascript
    C++
    C++ is statically typed , free-form , multi-
    paradigm , compiled , general purpose
    programming language.
    It is regarded as middle-level language , as it
    comprises a combination of both high-level and
    low-level language features.
    Language features:
    Operators
    Operator overloading.
    Templates.
    Objects.
    polymorphism
    VISUAL BASIC
    Visual basic (VB) is the third
    generation event-driven
    programming language and
    integrated development environment
    (IDE) from Microsoft for its COM
    programming model.
    Visual basic is relatively easy to learn
    and use.
    CHARACTERSTICS
    Interpreted.
    Dynamic constructs.
    Poor performance.
    Concise code.
    Flexible syntax
    Advantages
    These are simple to adopt due to their
    English like structure of statements.
    They are easy to maintain and debug.

    Disadvantages
    The program written in high level language
    are less efficient as they take more
    execution time.
    The compiler also consumes some memory
    as it is required for the translation process.
