Computer Language -
The languages used to communicate with computer is known as computer language. Computer language can be broadly classified into two ways-
1)Low Level Language(LLL),
2)High Level Language(HLL).
1) Low Level Language -
In earlier days computers instruction were passed on to the computer in its own machine language or assembly language. This language is known as low level language. This required a lot of time and effort.
a) Machine Language -
The first generation of computer languages were the languages used by technician who design the computer. These are called machine level language. In machine language the instructions are written using 0's and 1's. Writing program in machine language, proved to be very difficult. The initial coding often took months for error checking and rectification proved to be time consuming.
b) Assembling Language -
The second languages were the assembly which were as tedious and detailed as the machine language but use abbreviations as commands in their instruction instead of 0's and 1's. Example- ADD, MOVE etc were some meaningful symbols used in assembly languages. As the machine language and assembly language are used to directly interact with the computer at its lowest level so they are called low level language.
(assembly language)
2) High Level Language -
The third generation of language are the high level languages like Cobol, Basic etc. This language statements are user friendly and easy to understand. It consists of translator which make converts high level language into low level language
