software no 2

1. High Level Language

   • Easier for people to read and understand
   • Likely to be fewer errors due to the ease of use
   • Examples: -Python -Scratch

2. Low Level Language

   • Harder to find and correct errors
   • examples: -Little Man Computer -Assembly -Machine Code
   • Uses the instruction set of a CPU

3. Assemblers

   • Each operator and operand is replaced with its binary equivalent
   • No need for analysis of code or complex function creation

4. Compilers and Interpreters

   • Complex translation - each line of high-level code can require many machine code instructions

5. Compilers

   • Translate the high-level code all at once to produce a machine code file
   • Programs can be distributed without releasing the source code harder for competitors to copy their code
   • Machine code files are fast to execute

6. Interpreters

   • Do not create an executable file they execute the source code by translating and executing one line at a time
