Computer Languages are the Languages by which a user command the computer to work on the algorithm which a user has written to get an output.

 There are two types of language in computer

(A) Low Level Language

(B) High Level Language

(A) Low Level Language: Low level computer languages are either machine codes or are very close them. A computer cannot understand instruction given to it in high level language or in English. It can only understand and execute instruction given in the form of machine language example binary.

There are two types of low-level languages:

Machine language: Machine language binary based language for representing computer programs that the computer can execute directly.

Assembly language: Assembly language a low level programming language in which each statement produces exactly one machine instruction.

(B) Higher Level Languages: These are simplest languages for programming. They consist of English like statements. Basic (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language), FORTRAN (Formula Translation), Pascal, C, C++, Java etc., are the examples of Higher Level Languages.
