   High Level Languages

High Level Programming language is a type of advanced computer programming language. FORTRAN, C, COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language), Prolog and PASCAL are some of the common examples of High Level Language.  

 Main features of High Level Language are the following: 

• Helps in development of large programs faster.
• Provides OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) features.
• Provides string handling routines.
• Provides file Input /Output also.  

 Machine language is the lowest level computer language that is directly accessed by a program. It is also called.........

(A) 1GL                                                                

(B) 2GL

(C) 3GL                                                                

(D) 4GL

(E) None of these  

Answer: (A)
