Language Levels Flashcards

A programming language that is closer to human language and easier for humans to read and write.

A programming language that is closer to machine code and directly interacts with the hardware.

A program that converts high-level code into machine code so it can be executed by a computer.

A translator that converts the entire high-level program into machine code before execution.

A translator that converts and executes high-level code line by line.

The binary instructions that a computer's CPU can execute directly.

A low-level language that uses mnemonics to represent machine code instructions.

Easier to read, write, and debug; portable across different hardware.

More efficient and faster as they are closer to the hardware; allows direct hardware control.

A compiler translates the whole program at once, while an interpreter translates and runs code line by line.
