Know that there are different levels of programming language:
low-level language
high-level language.Explain the main differences between low-level and high-level languages. Know that machine code and assembly language are considered to be low-level languages and explain the differences between them.
"Understand that ultimately all programming code written in high-level or assembly languages must be translated into machine code.
Understand that machine code is expressed in binary and is specific to a processor or family of processors."
Understand the advantages and disadvantages of low-level language programming compared with high-level language programming.
