computer language

  
   
a language made up of numbers and characters used to give instructions to a computer


COMMENT: There are three types of computer languages: machine code, assembler and high-level language. The higher the level the language is, the easier it is to program and understand, but the slower it is to execute. Common high-level languages are BASIC, C, COBOL, FORTRAN, PASCAL, PROLOG.
