An advantage of programming in low-level programming is: (7-9)

• Easier to understand

• Useful for device drivers

• Programs require smaller file sizes

• Programs execute faster than other generations

An advantage of programming in a high-level programming language is: (7-9)

• Easier to understand

• Useful for device drivers

• Programs require smaller file sizes

• Programs execute faster than other generations

What sort of relationship are low-level languages said to have with high-level languages? (7-9)

• One to One (One high level instruction is equivalent to one low level)

• One to many (For every high level instruction there are many low level instructions)

• One to Two (For every high level instruction there are two low level instructions)

• Many to One (Many high level instructions translate into one low level instruction)
