High Level Languages

High-Level Languages

high-level language are programming languages that uses English and mathematical  symbols, like +, -, % and many others, in its instructions. When using the term "programming languages" most people are actually referring to high-level languages. High-level languages are the languages most often used by programmers to write programs. Examples of high level languages are C++, Java and Python.

A high-level language is like learning another human language - we just need to learn vocabulary and grammar to make sentences. To learn a programming language, we need to learn commands, syntax and logic, which correspond closely to vocabulary and grammar.

The code of most high-level languages is portable and the same code can run on different hardware without modification. Both machine code and assembly languages are hardware specific which means that the machine code used to run a program on one specific computer needs to be modified to run on another computer.

A high-level language cannot be understood directly by a computer, and it needs to be translated into machine code. There are two ways translate , and are related to how the program is executed: a high-level language can be compiled or interpreted.

Operators in C++ : What are the different types of operators in C++?

Operators in C++ Operators are nothing but symbols that tell the compiler to perform some  specific operations. Operators are of the following types - 1. Arithmetic Operators Arithmetic operators perform some arithmetic operation on one or two  operands. Operators that operate on one operand are called unary  arithmetic operators and operators that operate on two operands are  called binary arithmetic operators. +,-,*,/,% are binary operators. ++, -- are unary operators. Pre-incrementer : It increments the value of the operand instantly. Post-incrementer : It stores the current value of the operand temporarily  and only after that statement is completed, the value of the operand is  incremented. Pre-decrementer : It decrements the value of the operand instantly. Post-decrementer : It stores the current value of the operand temporarily  and only after that statement is completed, the value of the operand is  decremented. Example - int a=10; int b; ...

Compiler And Interpreter

Compiler vs interpreter  Compiler is a computer program that translates a program written in a high-level language to the machine language of a computer which can easily understand by the machine or computer . The high-level program is referred to as the "source code".The compiler is used to translate source code into machine code or compiled code. This does not yet use any of the input data. When the compiled code is executed, referred to as 'running the program,' the program processes the input data to produce the desired output. Interpreter is a computer program that directly executes instructions line by line written in a programming language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program.

Algorithm : What is algorithm and what are its characteristics?

 Algorithm Algorithm is a step-by-step procedure, which defines a set of instructions to be executed in a certain order to get the desired output. Algorithms are generally created independent of underlying languages, i.e. an algorithm can be implemented in more than one programming language. Qualities of a good algorithm 1. Input and output should be defined precisely. 2. Each step in the algorithm should be clear and unambiguous. 3. An algorithm shouldn't include computer code. Instead,the algorithm should be written in such a way that it can be used in different programming languages. Good, logical programming is developed through good pre-code planning and organization. This is assisted by the use of pseudocode and program flowcharts Instagram 👇  For more Queries
