    The document discusses computer languages and language processors. It classifies computer languages as low-level, middle-level, and high-level languages based on their proximity to machine-level instructions. Low-level languages are closest to machine code while high-level languages are easiest for humans to understand but require translation. Language processors such as assemblers, compilers, and interpreters are used to translate between language levels so programs can be executed.

    TOPICS:-

    1) Classifications of Computer Languages


    Low Level Language
    Middle Level Language
    High Level Language
    2) Language Processors
     Syntax - Structure of sentences
     Program – It is a set of instructions given to a computer.
     These collections of instructions are written in some specific
    language that can produce various kinds of output which is
    known as Computer Language or Programming Language.
     Here even computer can communicate with its own languages
    like:
     Low Level Language
     Middle Level Language
     High Level Language
    Computer Language

    Low Level Language Middle Level Language High Level Language


     Low level languages are considered to be closer to computers.
     The instructions are written in binary numbers i.e 0’s and 1’s.
     They can be easily be understood by the computer, but difficult to read
    and write by the user.
     Low level language is closer to the computers.
     Low level language is also called as Machine Language.
     It does not need any translation to execute a program as it is executed
    directly by the computer. So low level programs are fast in execution.
     Middle Level Language is also known as Assembly Language.
     In middle level language. binary digits are substituted by symbolic codes
    called MNEMONICS. This helps to improve the understanding of the
    language between the user and the computer.
     A mnemonic is an alphabetical abbreviation used as memory aid.
    For ex: to represent store, the mnemonic is STA may be used.
    Output - OUT , Input – IN , Load – LDA
     Assembly programming is simpler and less time consuming than Low
    Level Language.
     High Level Language is very similar to the human languages and have a set
    of grammar rules that are used to make instructions more easily.
     It is a computer language which can easily be understood by the users. It is
    also called as Fourth generation language.
     Every high level language have a set of predefined words known as
    KEYWORDS and a set of rules known as SYNTAX to write program.
     It is easy to understand by the user, but computer does not understand it and
    it has to be converted into Low Level Language.
     It requires a translator.
    Eg: C, C++, C#, Java, Ruby, Delphi, Perl, Python,Visual Basic, etc.
     Language Processor is also known as Language Translator.
     Language processor is used to convert High level /Middle level language
    codes to machine language codes.
    Functions of Language Processors
     Language translator automatically converts the program into machine
    language.
     To detect error in source code during translation.
    Types of Language processors:
    1. Assembler
    2. Compiler
    3. Interpreter
    LANGUAGE PROCESSORS
    ASSEMBLER COMPILER

     Translates high level language into


     Translates assembly language
    machine level language.
    into low level machine language.
     Converts the entire program before
     Converts the entire program running.
    before running.
    INTERPRETER

     Translates high language into


    machine code language.
     Converts the program line by line
    until any error is rectified.
