Computers can only understand machine language. When a program is written in another language, the computer translates it into machine language with the help of a suitable translator (assembler, compiler, interpreter) before executing it.
Programming languages are further subdivided into different levels based on program design features:
1. Low Level Language
For example-Machine Language, Assembly Language. The language of the computer machine is called machine language or mechanical language or inferior language.
The basic language of computer is this inferior language or mechanical language (or you can assume first level language: relaxed :).
2. Mid Level Language
For example-C, Forth, Dbase, WordStar
3. High Level Language
For intance-Fortran, Basic, Pascal, Cobol, C, C ++, Visual Basic, Java, Oracle, Python
4. Very High Level Language- 4GL
Like as-SQL, Oracle
5. Natural Language
For example-Human language .The language that is closest to the human language (English) and the language that the computer can understand is the higher language (third level language).
