Answer:
High-level languages
Most contemporary programming is carried out using high-level languages. High-level languages have the following characteristics:
Require translation
Portable
Easier to read, write and maintain as commands are similar to English
Allow access to module libraries
Use data types and data structures, selection statements and repetition/iteration constructs
Use logic operators and functions that are built into the language
High-level languages require translator software that will be held in RAM when a program is executed. It is the translator software that will take the code written in a high-level language and translate it into 'executable code'. Executable code is in binary form and can be understood by the processor. Unlike low-level languages, there is no one to one conversion between code and binary instructions.
