Creating software

1. Low level languages

   • Easier for computers to run
   • Hard to read by humans
   • Binary
   • Assembly code

2. High level languages

   • Easier for humans to write
   • Python
   • Java script
   • Must be translated into machine code

3. Translators

   • Compiler
     • Runs fast but takes a long time to compile
     • Only needed once
   • Interpreter
     • Runs slow and translates while the program is running
     • Needed every time you want to run a program

4. Integrated development environment

   • Editor
   • Run time environment
   • Error diagnostics
