High Level Languages
The main characteristics of a high level language are:
- It is easier for the programmer to identify what a command does (English words)
- High level languages need to be translated
- One command in a high level language represents many lines of code in assembler or machine code
- They are portable between systems
- More straight forward to program
- Wider variety of data structures
