DEFINITION 2 formal notation for representing solutionsA programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 programming language that is designed to be easy for humans to read and writeexamples: Python, C ++, PHP, JavaIn computer science, a high-level programming language is a programming language with strong abstraction from the details of the computer. TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 programming language that is designed to be easy for a computer to executemachine language assembly languageIn computer science, a low-level programming language is a programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture-commands or functions in the language map closely to processor instructions.
