Assembly is a low level language because it is closer to what the processor actually understands(binary or machine code). C++ can actually be called a "mid" level language because it has features that are further from machine code, but also has features that are rather low level. An example of a high level code might be VB, Java or (if you consider it a coding languages) SQL.Originally posted by hydrobond:
I don't know the exact difference but i can give you examples. Assembly is a low level language and C/C++ is a high level language. Hope this helped a little.
Higher level languages seem to be more "English" like and low level languages seem to be more arithmetic like.
