Question

Which of the following programming languages are considered as low level language?
1. Basic, Cobol, Fortran
2. C, C++
3. Assembly language
4. Prolog
5. All of above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Assembly language

The correct answer is Assembly language.

• Two common types of low-level programming languages are assembly language and machine language.
• Examples of high-level programming languages in active use today include Python, Visual Basic, Delphi, Perl, PHP, ECMAScript, Ruby, C#, Java.
• A software developer can create and edit source code in a high-level language using a programming IDE or even a basic text editor.

• Programs and applications written in low-level language are directly implemented by the computing hardware, without any further interpretation or translation.
• Machine language and assembly language are common examples of low-level languages.
• Assembly language:
  • An assembly (or assembler) language, often abbreviated ASM, is any low-level programming language in which there is a very strong correspondence between the program's statements and the architecture's machine code instructions.
  • An assembly language is a low-level programming language designed for a specific type of processor. However, in some cases, assembly code can be used to fine-tune a program.
  • For example, a programmer may write a specific process in assembly language to make sure it functions as efficiently as possible.
