A high-level language is a computer programming language that allows a programmer to use English-like statements to write programs, and are considered high-level because they are closer to human languages than machine languages. Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript are examples of high-level languages.
High-level languages are typically used for application development, web development, and other general-purpose programming tasks. They provide abstraction from low-level details of the computer hardware, such as memory management and CPU registers, making it easier for programmers to write complex programs with less focus on low-level implementation details.
