High and Low Level Languages
A computer is equipped with various components for a variety of jobs. Programs are used to instruct a computer about a task that has to be done. Programs are also used to prioritise tasks and give step-by-step instructions to a computer. Hence, a computer program can be defined as a set of instructions that enables a computer to perform a specific task. Programs can be written in high-level or low-level languages, according to the requirements of the user. Figure 1 shows the organisation of these programming languages. In this article, high-level languages, low-level languages and tools involved in the execution of a program are explained.
This GCSE Computer Science module introduces high and low level languages to your students, explaining:
- What they are
- How translators work
- What are programming errors
- What is Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- What is run time environment
