Programming Concepts

Mason, Evelyn, and Mia are on a thrilling quest to discover the world of computer programming languages. They are beginners and want to start with a language that's easy to learn, use, read, and modify. Can you help them decide which type of programming language they should explore first?

• High Level

• Binary

• Machine Language

Computers organize the zeros and ones that represent an instruction into a series of eight pieces. This series of eight ones or zeros is known as:

• Byte

• Code

• Data Type
