1. What is Programing Language? / Definition
A programming language is a computer language programmers use to develop software programs, scripts, or other sets of instructions for computers to execute.
As we know, to communicate with a person, we need a specific language, similarly to communicate with computers, programmers also need a language is called Programming language.
2. Different types of Programing Languages?
A. High level language
A high-level language is any programming language that allows development of a program in a much more user-friendly programming context and is mostly independent of the computer’s hardware architecture.
High-level languages allow programmers to write instructions in a language that is easier to understand than low-level languages. Translators are needed to translate programs written in high-level languages into the machine code that a computer understands. Eg:- Java, MySql, python etc.
Programs written in a high-level language need to be translated into machine language before they can be executed.

 

High Level Language

B. Low Level Languages
The programming languages that are very close to machine code (0s and 1s) are called low-level programming languages. The program instructions written in these languages are in binary form. Example: assembly and machine code The types of low-level languages are: machine language, assembly language
3. Types of Low level language
A. Machine language
The instructions in binary form, which can be directly understood by the computer (CPU) without translating them, is called a machine language or machine code.
Machine language is also known as first generation of programming language. Machine language is the fundamental language of the computer and the program instructions in this language is in the binary form (that is 0’s and 1’s).
B. Assembly language
An assembly language is a type of low-level programming language that is intended to communicate directly with a computer’s hardware. It consist of binary language
