Understanding the characteristics and purpose of different levels of programming language

• Programming languages are classified into different levels based on their abstraction
• Low-level languages provide more direct control over the hardware
• Low-level languages use assembly language or machine code
• Low-level languages use English-like syntax.

  False
• Low-level languages are close to the hardware
• Low-level languages are less portable
• Machine code is represented as binary digits (0s and 1s).


  True
• Match the level of programming language with its characteristic:

  Low-level ↔️ Close to hardware

  Mid-level ↔️ Balance between hardware and abstraction

  High-level ↔️ English-like syntax
• High-level languages are commonly used for operating systems and embedded systems.

  False
• What is the purpose of high-level languages being portable across different hardware?

  Machine independence
• What type of syntax do high-level languages use?

  English-like
• Which programming languages are examples of low-level languages?

  Assembly, Machine code
• Machine code is directly understood by the computer's processor.


  True
• Match the programming language level with its example:

  Low-level ↔️ Assembly

  Mid-level ↔️ C

  High-level ↔️ Python
• Assembly language uses mnemonics
• High-level languages are designed to be easily readable and portable
• Functional programming relies on pure functions with no side effects
• Low-level languages use assembly-like syntax
• Mid-level languages facilitate efficient system programming
• Low-level languages are less portable
• Match the low-level language with its description:

  Machine language ↔️ Directly understood by the processor

  Assembly language ↔️ Uses mnemonics to represent instructions
• Each type of high-level language offers unique advantages for different application needs.

  True
• Match the characteristic with the level of programming language:

  Readability ↔️ High-level

  Hardware control ↔️ Low-level

  Portability ↔️ Mid-level
• Match the level of programming language with an example:

  High-level ↔️ Java

  Mid-level ↔️ C++

  Low-level ↔️ Assembly
