Programming Languages

1. A compiler is a program that converts instructions into a machine-code or lower-level form so that they can be read and executed by a computer.

2. An interpreter is a program that can analyse and execute a program line by line.

3. A high level language is A high-level language is a programming language designed to simplify computer programming. It is "high-level" since it is several steps removed from the actual code run on a computer's processor. High-level source code contains easy-to-read syntax that is later converted into a low-level language, which can be recognized and run by a specific CPU.

4. An assembly language is a low-level symbolic code converted by an assembler.

5. A machine code is a low-level symbolic code converted by an assembler.

6. An opcode is In computing, an opcode is the portion of a machine language instruction that specifies the operation to be performed. Beside the opcode itself, most instructions also specify the data they will process, in the form of operands.
