From: gossamer axe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A few newbie questions here. I thought that the lower level the code, the faster it runs. So C runs faster than VB but Assembly runs faster than C. I do realize it's also the talent of the programmer.
What is Java considered? And is C a middle or low level programming language?
There's only high and low. Low is assembly language or machine code (writing direct 1s and 0s), high is everything else. Some people use the term 3GL and 4GL (3rd generation language and 4th generation language) to define newer languages like C++ and Java respectively, but it hasn't really caught on, mainly because there's so few differences in actual syntax and concepts behind them. Java and C++ for example are 99% the same syntax wise. THe differences can be learned in a day.
