High-Level vs Low-Level Languages
Characteristics | High-Level Languages | Low-Level Languages |
---|---|---|
Abstraction Level | High-level abstraction, farther from machine language | Low-level abstraction, closer to machine language |
Readability | Easy to read and understand, similar to human language | Difficult to read and understand, symbolic representation of machine code |
Portability | Highly portable across different platforms | Not portable, specific to a particular computer architecture |
Development Speed | Faster development, less code required | Slower development, more code required |
Performance | May have performance overhead due to abstraction | Can be optimized for performance, direct access to hardware |
Examples | Python, Java, C#, JavaScript | Assembly languages, Machine code |
