An advantage of programming in low-level programming is

• Easier to understand

• Takes up less code

• Produce programs that require small file sizes

• Easier to de-bug

An advantage of programming in a high-level programming language is

• 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?

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

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

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

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