Abstract

The term “high-level language” (HLL) refers to the computer programming languages that not only allow the use of symbolic operators to signify operations and of symbolic names to represent data and data structures, but are also structured with syntax and semantics to describe the computing algorithm. Some of these programming languages are formula translation (FORTRAN), algorithmic language (ALGOL), and common business-oriented language (COBOL). An HLL computer system accepts and executes an HLL program. The general-purpose digital computer is a stored-program computer that has an instruction set—called the machine language—and a hierarchy of storages for storing the program and the data. The instruction set is capable of describing algorithms for solving a problem in a large class of application areas. High-level programming languages can be as general purpose as the conventional general-purpose computer instruction set.
