It's a "low level" language because it works at the machine level, while higher level languages are built on top of it.

What are low-level languages?

Low-level languages are one of two major types of programming languages. They are more similar to machine language, which is the language that computers understand directly; as opposed to high-level languages which are similar to English as humans speak.


What are examples of high lavel language?

The term high-level refers to the amount of abstraction between the code you write and the native language of the machine. Low-level code is a symbolic code that maps 1:1 with the machine code, thus assembly is a low-level language. All other languages that employ a compiler or interpreter to create the machine code are considered high level languages. However, C and C++ are examples of high-level languages that also allow low-level programming, and are often called mid-level languages for that reason.


Why c is called as middle level language?

Misunderstanding. There are no 'middle level languages', only low and high level languages. Machine code and assembly are the former, everything else is the latter.C is often called a middle-level computer language as it combines the elements of high-level languages with the functionalism of assembly language. But actually it doesn't have any Assembly-like feature (whatever that means).

What is the difference between high level and low level programming?

High level languages are easier for humans to read and program in. They are usually machine independent, and most have a wide variety of programming libraries available for common functions. Low level languages are usually machine specific, such as assembly languages. They lack programming libraries.
