Document Summary

Answer the following with 5 to 10 sentences: define in your own understanding what low-level language is. Low-level language programming is direct to hardware because it doesn"t need a compiler or interpreter, and it"s fast because it didn"t need to go to the translating process and memory-efficient. But using low-level language programming is difficult because it takes time to maintain, develop, debug, and prone to error. One example of low-level language is machine code it uses "bits" consist of 1"s and 0"s that hard to code manually and can lead to more errors. That"s why the programmer who uses low-level language needs to have a deep knowledge of machine codes to perform it correctly. ~a high-level language is easy to use because it"s user-friendly. It can be read by humans because it"s close to english words, but it uses a compiler and interpreter to translate it into machine code because the computer only understands machine code.
