can a higher-level programming language instruct a computer to compute more than a lower-level programming?

Question

can a higher-level programming language instruct a computer to compute more than a lower-level programming language?

Answer 1

Funny thing is that higher level programming languages are always complied DOWN to machine level, just ones and zeros, always, the machine does not understand anything else.


So the answer to your question would be no.

Answer 2

Lower Level Language

Answer 3

Higher level languages typically create more bloat and the net result is a program that has more instructions to accomplish the same thing than in a lower level program. Lower level programs though are harder to debug and leaves much of the grunt work to the programmer. It doesn't mean lower level programming is harder to learn or read, it just means you have to take care of loose ends that a typical higher level language would do behind the scenes.

If you are asking if a higher level language can make the computer do "more" -- as in use more features or go faster, then no it is actually quite the opposite.

Answer 4

It really depends on what you mean. For example, if the high and low level programs had the same number of lines, then the answer would be a resounding yes. A 10 line SQL program will do more than 10 lines of assembly code.

But, as other posters have pointed out, the job described by the SQL code is ultimately done by machine instructions. So, if you allow me to use any length program, I'll always be able to match your high-level program with a longer low-level program.

Answer 5

Low factor langueges makes use of "mnemonics" for programming. yet no mnemonics is needed in c coding. so C isn't a low levell language it truly is a extreme factor LANGUAGE. because that's the midsection language of low factor and fourth technology language we may be able to call it midsection technology language. it truly is a 0.33 technology language.
