 Low-level programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word "low" does not imply that the language is inferior to high-level programming languages but rather refers to the reduced amount of abstraction between the language and itself; because of this, low-level languages are sometimes described as being "closer to the hardware."
High-level versus low-level is a relative property; a Java programmer might consider C to be a low-level language, while an assembly language programmer would consider C to be a high-level programming language.
In computer science, a low-level programming language is a language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's microprocessor.

A high-level programming language is one that is closer to a level of human communication.
A programming language that has arithmetic expressions, looping constructs, functions, and other constructs that save the programmer from dealing with the machine instructions directly is known as a third-generation programming language.

 Mescal Programming Model and Application Environment
The current practice of program network processors is to use assembly language or a subset of C. This low-level programming language places a large burden on the programmer to understand fine details of the architecture just to implement a packet processing application, let alone optimize it.
To bridge the gap between an application language and the language for a target architecture, a programming model is necessary that hides the unimportant details of the target architecture and exposes those which allow the programmer to claim the full power of the device.
Furthermore, there are potential optimizations that may be found in a high-level language that are not easily found once assembler or C is generated.

 Programmingc:ch1 c - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Since C is a low-level programming language, it is necessary for a C program to claim the memory needed to store variables before using the memory.
Like most programming languages, C is able to use and process named variables and their contents.
Within the C programming language, when we manage and work with variables, it is important for us to know the type of our variables and the size of these types.

 Redomino - Open Solutions - C
C language is a low level programming language, which can realize any kind of programmes.
However, among this kind of languages it is considered the most low level one because it has a few instructions: in this way it can manage more efficiently the memory and you can insert the Assembler code inside a C file.
It is a high level language because it is close to the human terminology: its syntax is concise, essential and it uses English words in order to describe orders in computer language.

 assembly language
An assembly language may still be used in some cases, however, particularly when no suitable high-level language exists or where a very efficient machine-code program is required.
Because they are much easier to use, high-level languages are normally used in preference to assembly languages.
It consists chiefly of a set of short sequences of letters (mnemonics), which are translated, by a program called an assembler, into machine code for the computer's central processing unit (CPU) to follow directly.

 programming language: Development of Low-Level Languages
First-generation languages, called machine languages, required the writing of long strings of binary numbers to represent such operations as “add,” “subtract,” “and compare.” Later improvements allowed octal, decimal, or hexadecimal representation of the binary strings.
All computers operate by following machine language programs, a long sequence of instructions called machine code that is addressed to the hardware of the computer and is written in binary notation (see
Because writing programs in machine language is impractical (it is tedious and error prone), symbolic, or assembly, languages—second-generation languages—were introduced in the early 1950s.
