What's the difference between a low-level, midlevel, and high-level ...
The 'level' is essentially a measure of how abstracted the programmer is from the actual hardware-based operations. In a low level language you might have to care about actual memory locations, whereas in a high-level you just create variables and let the OS handle memory.
Is C a middle-level language? - Stack Overflow
2010年5月26日 · C is often called a middle-level computer language as it is a combination of the elements of high-level languages with the functionalism of assembly language. High Level language : A high-level programming language is one that's more user-friendly, to some extent platform-independent, and abstract from low-level computer processor operations ...
Which programming languages aren't considered high-level?
many of the truths we cling to depend upon our own point of view. For a C programmer, Assembler is a low-level language. For a Java programmer, C is a low-level language and so on. I suspect the folks programming the first stored-program computer with 1s and 0s would have thought Assembler a high-level language.
What is the process of translating high level language into …
2013年10月21日 · 1. This process varies a lot not only on the high level language, but on the compiler. There are probably a lot more steps than you think if you look closely. Some compilers do indeed go to Assembly Language before Machine Code, but to be honest - they are almost synonyms! Just two ways of expressing the same thing - the translation is really ...
How does an interpreter/compiler work - Stack Overflow
2010年3月4日 · The idea is simple: You write the program, then hand it to the compiler which translates it. Then you run the result. Interpreters. An interpreter is also a program that translates a high-level language into a low-level one, but it does it at the moment the program is run. You write the program using a text editor or something similar, and then ...
oop - Do high-level programming languages tend to be object …
2016年11月30日 · High level/low level refers to the perceived 'closeness' of the language to assembler and machine code (assembler is low-level, C is seen as lower level than C++ or Java, etc). OO and procedural programming are language facilities provided to support a certain way of designing programs (called programming paradigms).
Is Python interpreted, or compiled, or both? - Stack Overflow
A compiled language is a high-level language whose code is first converted to machine-code by a compiler (a program which converts the high-level language to machine code) and then executed by an executor (another program for running the code). Correct me if my definitions are wrong. Now coming back to Python, I am bit confused about this.
Are Fortran, Cobol, Basic and Forth high level programming …
2010年6月6日 · High-level isn't a binary value. There are a whole range of languages in a spectrum from low-level to high-level. The languages you named are higher level than assembly, but lower level than Lisp. According to Wikipedia: The first high-level programming language to be designed for a computer was Plankalkül, created by Konrad Zuse.
Why is C so fast, and why aren't other languages as fast or faster?
1. Some C++ algorithms are faster than C, and some implementations of algorithms or design patterns in other languages can be faster than C. When people say that C is fast, and then move on to talking about some other language, they are generally using C's performance as a benchmark. answered Jan 7, 2009 at 2:11.
What is the difference between a strongly typed language and a ...
2010年4月22日 · One does not imply the other. For a language to be statically typed it means that the types of all variables are known or inferred at compile time. A strongly typed language does not allow you to use one type as another. C is a weakly typed language and is a good example of what strongly typed languages don't allow.
