Features of high level language

Answered by admin @



High level language is abbreviated as HLL. High level languages are similar to the human language. Unlike low level languages, high level languages are programmers friendly, easy to code, debug and maintain.

High level language provides higher level of abstraction from machine language. They do not interact directly with the hardware. Rather, they focus more on the complex arithmetic operations, optimal program efficiency and easiness in coding.

Low level programming uses machine friendly language. Programmers writes code either in binary or assembly language. Writing programs in binary is complex and cumbersome process. Hence, to make programming more programmers friendly. Programs in high level language is written using English statements.

High level programs require compilers/interpreters to translate source code to machine language. We can compile the source code written in high level language to multiple machine languages. Thus, they are machine independent language.
