Low-level programming languages are sometimes divided into two categories: first generation, and second generation.

There are both high- and low-level programming languages that use non-structured programming.

Low-level programming languages are typically compiled, especially when efficiency is the primary concern, rather than cross-platform support.

A low-level programming language is one like assembly language that contains rudimentary microprocessor commands.

Machine data types need to be exposed or made available in systems or low-level programming languages, allowing fine-grained control over hardware.

Assembly differs from C because assembly is a low-level programming language and when processed can communicate directly with the processor.

In computer science, a low-level programming language is a programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture.

KISS is an early low-level programming language on the IBM 650 business computer.

"Low-level programming languages usually have no direct equivalent of the statement found in many high-level programming languages.

Machine languages and the assembly languages that represent them (collectively termed low-level programming languages) tend to be unique to a particular type of computer.

Assembly language, or just assembly, is a low-level programming language, which uses mnemonics, instructions and operands to represent machine code.

The object-oriented architecture of the NetExpert framework provides the building blocks to implement operations support and management systems using high-level tools rather than low-level programming languages.

In a sense, the operating system can be seen as serving hardware to the software, which in all but low-level programming languages must interact using an API.

QTi extended QuickTime's core multimedia playback features to provide true interactive facilities and a low-level programming language based on 68000 assembly language.

Little Computer 3, or LC-3, is a type of computer educational programming language, an assembly language, which is a type of low-level programming language.

This is because they are low-level programming languages where equivalents for structured control flow statements such as for loops and while loops exist, but are often poorly understood by inexperienced programmers.

An assembly language is a low-level programming language for a computer, or other programmable device, in which there is a very strong (generally one-to-one) correspondence between the language and the architecture's machine code instructions.

The hardware is usually done in field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), whereas the software part is translated into low-level programming language.

This is because the new version of Noctis is being developed in Linoleum (which Ghignola has developed himself), a low-level programming language that is currently being shaped to better suit Noctis.

Noctis versions I-IV were written in C and Assembly, but Alex is currently writing a new version (to be released as Noctis V) in his original low-level programming language, called Linoleum.

While low-level programming languages are very cryptic, a higher-level programming language may use natural language elements, be easier to use, making the process of developing a program simpler and more understandable with respect to a low-level language.

Because BCPL does not use native pointer (computing), as do C (programming language) and most other low-level programming languages and assembler programs, using more advanced functionality of the operating system was difficult and prone to errors.

In comparison to low-level programming languages, it may use natural language elements, be easier to use, or may automate (or even hide entirely) significant areas of computing systems (e.g. memory management), making the process of developing a program simpler and more understandable relative to a lower-level language.
