The user of a computer must be able to communicate with it. That means, he must be able to give the computer commands and understand the output that the computer generates. This is possible due to the invention of computer languages.

Basically, there are two main categories of computer languages.

1. Low Level Language 

Low level languages are the basic computer instructions or better known as machine codes. A computer cannot understand any instruction given to it by the user in English or any other high level language. These low level languages are very easily understandable by the machine.

2. High Level Language

These are programming languages. Some prominent examples are PASCAL, FORTRAN, C++ etc.
