Note :
Computer languages are classed a low -
level if each instruction specifies only one operation of the computer ,
or high -
level if each instruction may specify a complex combination of operations . {
Machine language }
and {
assembly language }
are low -
level computer languages . {
FORTRAN }, {
COBOL }
and {
C }
are high -
level computer languages .
Other computer languages ,
such as JAVA ,
allow even more complex combinations of low -
