CodeHS Programming languages

Why have so many programming languages been developed?

• To make programming more complicated

• To solve different types of problems

• To replace older languages completely

• To confuse programmers

What is a key characteristic of high-level programming languages?

• They are harder for humans to understand

• They require specific hardware to run

• They use syntax closer to human communication

• They are always faster than low-level languages

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of high-level languages?

• Easier to read and write

• Easier to debug

• Requires less memory

• Portable across different platforms

Which of the following programming languages is considered a low-level language?

• Python

• JavaScript

• Assembly Language

• C++

What happens when an error is found in an interpreted language?

• The entire program stops running immediately

• The program continues running without any issues

• Only the line with the error is skipped

• The program restarts from the beginning

What is the main difference between compiled and interpreted languages?

• Compiled languages are always faster.

• Interpreted languages can run without any errors

• Compiled languages convert the entire program before running it

• Interpreted languages can only be run on specific machines

What is the primary purpose of Python as described in the video?

• To create complex software systems

• To be a straightforward introduction to programming

• To replace all other programming languages

• To focus solely on web development

• Low-level languages are more user friendly than high-level language

• High-level languages are easier for humans, while low-level languages are easier for machines

• There is no difference between high-level and low-level languages
