High-Low - Level Language

A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers and not interpreters. In this language, once the program is compiled it is expressed in the instructions of the target machine. There are at least two steps to get from source code to execution. In this language, compiled programs run faster than interpreted programs. The code of compiled language can be executed directly by the computer’s CPU. Example of compiled language – C, C++, C#, CLEO, COBOL, etc.

High level languages
Programmers can easily understand or interpret or compile the
high level language in comparison of machine.

Machine can easily understand the low level language in


comparison of human beings.

Examples of high level languages are C, C++, Java, Python, etc.

Compiled Language:
A compiled language is a programming language which are generally
compiled and not interpreted.
It is one where the program, once compiled, is expressed in the
instructions of the target machine; this machine code is
undecipherable by humans.
Types of compiled language – C, C++, C#, CLEO, COBOL, etc
Compiler
• A program to translate program to machine language
• Source program - Object program

• Compiler is language specific


• Large programs residing in secondary storage

• Can detect syntax error but not logical errors


Interpreted Language
An interpreted language is a programming language which are
generally interpreted, without compiling a program into machine
instructions.
It is one where the instructions are not directly executed by the target
machine, but instead read and executed by some other program.
Interpreted language ranges – JavaScript, Perl, Python, BASIC, etc
Interpreter
• Translator used to translate high level program to machine language
• One statement at a time is translated and executed
• No object program
• Editing during execution possible
• Easier to write
