What is a Low-Level Language? A low-level language, often known as a computer's native language, is a sort of programming language. It is very close to writing actual machine instructions, and it deals with a computer's hardware components and constraints. It works to control a computer's operational semantics and provides little or no abstraction of programming ideas. In contrast to high-level language that used for developing software, low-level code is not human-readable, and it is often cryptic. Assembly language and machine language are two examples of low-level programming languages.

So let's say you press the letter 'k' on your keyboard and it appears on the screen - the CPU of your computer is what makes this possible. The CPU is sometimes also referred to as the central processor unit, or processor for short. So when you are looking at the specifications of a computer at your local electronics store, it typically refers to the CPU as the processor. When we start to look at the various components of a CPU and how they function, remember that this is all about speed. When we use a computer, we want the instructions to be carried out very fast. As the instructions become more complicated (for example, creatin...

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.
