    Machine Language: Advantage Machine Language

    Uploaded by

    Riin Irasusta
    Machine language runs very fast but is difficult for humans to program in as it requires knowledge of hardware details. Assembly language uses symbolic codes that are easier for humans but programs are not portable between computer types. High-level languages resemble human languages and have fewer errors but run less efficiently than machine language and assembly language due to translation. Fourth-generation languages simplify programming but impose rigid rules and are less efficient during execution than high-level languages.

    Machine Language :

    Advantage Machine Language:


    The only advantage is that program of machine language run very fast because no translation program is
    required for the CPU.
    Disadvantages Machine Language:
    1. It is very difficult to program in machine language. The programmer has to know details of hardware to
    write program.
    2. The programmer has to remember a lot of codes to write a program which results in program errors.
    3. It is difficult to debug the program.
    Assembly language
    Advantages:
    1. Uses symbolic coded instructions which are easier to remember
    2. Programming is simplified as a programmer does not need to know the exact storage location of data
    and instructions.
    3. Efficient use of computer resources is out weighted by the high costs of very tedious systems
    development and by lock of program portability.
    Disadvantage:
    1. Assembler languages are unique to specific types of computers.
    2. Programs are not portable to other computers.
    High-Level Languages (procedural)
    Advantages:
    1. Easier to learn and understand than an assembler language as instructions (statements) that resemble
    human language or the standard notation of mathematics.
    2. Have less-rigid rules, forms, and syntaxes, so the potential for error is reduced.
    3. Are machine-independent programs therefore programs written in a high-level language do not have to
    be reprogrammed when a new computer is installed.
    4. Programmers do not have to learn a new language for each computer they program.
    Disadvantages:
    1. Less efficient than assembler language programs and require a greater amount of computer time for
    translation into machine instructions.
    Fourth-Generation Languages: (4GL's)
    Advantages:
    1. Simplified the programming process.
    2. Use nonprocedural languages that encourage users and programmers to specify the results they want,

    while the computers determines the sequence of instructions that will accomplish those results.
    3. Use natural languages that impose no rigid grammatical rules
    Disadvantages:
    1. Less flexible that other languages
    2. Programs written in 4GLs are generally far less efficient during program execution that programs in
    high-level languages. Therefore, their use is limited to projects that do not call for such efficiency.
