Understanding Programming Languages Concepts

The video explains the differences between high-level and low-level programming languages. High-level languages, like Python and C#, are human-readable and portable across different computer types but require translation into machine code. Low-level languages, such as machine code and assembly, are not human-readable and are specific to a machine type but do not require translation. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and continue learning.

What are the two broad categories of programming languages?

• Static and dynamic

• Compiled and interpreted

• High-level and low-level

• Object-oriented and functional

Which of the following is a high-level programming language?

• Machine code

• Assembly

• Binary

• Python

What is a key feature of high-level languages?

• They do not require translation

• They are specific to a type of machine

• They are human-readable

• They are written in binary

Which of the following is NOT an example of a high-level language?

• JavaScript

• Assembly

• Visual Basic

• C#

What does it mean for a high-level language to be portable?

• It does not need to be translated

• It is written in binary

• It is specific to a type of machine

• It can be used on different types of computers without modification

Why do high-level languages need to be translated?

• Because they are written in binary

• Because computers do not understand words

• Because they are specific to a type of machine

• Because they are already in machine code

What are the two main types of low-level languages?

• Binary and hexadecimal

• Python and C#

• JavaScript and Visual Basic

• Machine code and assembly

Which of the following is true about machine code?

• It is portable between different types of computers

• It does not need to be translated

• It is written in words

• It is human-readable

What is a mnemonic in assembly language?

• A type of high-level language

• A type of machine code

• A sequence of zeros and ones

• A small word representing a binary instruction

Which statement is true about low-level languages?

• They are meant for humans

• They are portable between different types of computers

• They are specific to a type of machine

• They do not require translation
