Which of the following statements are true about using a high-level programming language instead of a lower-level language?

I - Some algorithms can only be expressed in low-level languages, and cannot be expressed in any high-level languages

II - Code in a high-level language is often translated into code in a lower-level language to be executed on a computer

A program is expressed in a programming language. Which of the following is true of the program?

• The program can also be expressed as binary code, but this increases the likelihood of errors

• The program can also be expressed as binary code, which is what the program will be translated to in order to execute on the computer

• The program cannot be expressed as binary code

• Some parts of the program can be expressed as binary code, but most features of programming languages cannot be translated to binary code.
