What is a computer language? A computer language is a language in which a computer program writes the instructions for a computer to execute, is called a . A programming language is necessary to communicate with the computer. 17. What do you mean by low level language? Low Level Language (LLL) is also known as machine level language or machine language. It is a language only understood by a computer machine. The code in LLL is written in 0 or 1 which is known as binary code. The program written in LLL is a data using binary codes which a computer can understand. 18. What do you mean by high level language? High Level language (HLL) is also know as third generation language. HLL is a language which uses English alphabets, numbers and symbols for writing the program. The program written in HLL needs to be converted into machine language using translators. 19. What is a machine language? Machine language is also known as machine level language or low level language. It is a language only understood by a computer machine. The code in LLL is written in 0 or 1 which is known as binary code. The program written in LLL is a data using binary codes which a computer can understand. 20. What is an assembler? An assembler is a translator program that converts the program written in assembly language into machine language so that the computer can understand the code. FULL FORMS: 1. PMP – 2.
