Planned Homework - Types of Programming Languages

Put the following types of code into the correct category

Groups:

(a) High level

,

(b) Low level

• Assembly Language

• Python

• C#

• Javascript

• Machine code

Which is TRUE of a Low level programming language

• It is written specifically for a processor architecture and cannot be used across multiple

• It is written to be used on any computer processor and can therefore be used on any device

What is one advantage of a low level language, such as assembly language?

• It is hard to understand

• It is hard to write

• It is efficient

What is a disadvantage of a high level language?

• It must be converted every time it is ran, which makes it slower than low level languages

• It is hard to read and understand

• It cannot do complex mathematical problems

What is low level languages, such as assembly language, still used for today?

• Making applications such as MS word and Excel

• Programming embedded systems

• Making AAA games such as GTA or Fifa

Select three advantages of writing code in a LOW level language

• The programmer can work with the memory directly to make the programs more efficient

• Code is easier to write and understand

• The code is very fast to execute

• Code does not need to be compiled

Select three advantages of writing in a High level language

• The code is faster to execute by the CPU

• The code is easier to write and understand

• The code can include data structures such as Arrays and Dictionaries

• The code can run on different types of processors
