Unit 4.1

1. There are multiple levels of programmming

   • High Level and Low Level
     • High level programming is made easier to read for humans, it does however has to be translated into low level for the computer to understand
       • Many coding softwares are high level language, some of these include Java, Javascript, Thonny and Python
       • A CPU can translate low level language, however cannot do the same with high level language, and therefore needs to be translated into machine code to execute the high level language code
     • Low level programming is harder for the user to understand, it doesn't use complete language like high levels, making it harder to understand what the code actually means
       • The different types of low level languages are machine code and assembly code

2. The first type of coding done by a computer was printed out on paper, it used low level language as high level language was uncommon back then and only gained popularity in recent years
