Identify at least two advantages of using high-level languages over assembly languages.


Q: Identify at least two advantages of using high-level languages over assembly languages.
Ans.: - Assembly language programs are limited to about a few hundreds of lines of assembly code, i.e. are very small in size. Every programmer develops programs in his own individual style - based on intuition. This type of programming is called Exploratory Programming.
But use of high-level programming language reduces development efforts and development time significantly. Languages like FORTRAN, ALGOL, and COBOL are the examples of high-level programming languages.
