Ans : Programming language
*A programming language is a primary interface of a programmer with a computer.
Low Level Languages
*Two types of low level languages are Machine languages and Assembly languages.
Machine Language
*Binary language is used as machine language,
*Computer performs all the arithmetical and logical opeStions in binary form (05s and 1 ’s)
*Only one language understood by the computer is machine language.
*Binary language uses only (0's and 1's as its digits.
Assembly Language
*Assembly language is a second generation low level language.
*Assembly language uses symbolic codes (mnemonics) to represent corresponding machine codes.
*Assembly languages are faster than high level languages.
