High level language
A high-level language or HLL is a programming language that allows one to write clear and understandable code, and which is independent of the type of OS used by the developer.
The main feature of a high-level language is the widespread use of abstraction, i.e. semantic constructions for describing complex concepts (data structures, operations) that are long in machine code and seem difficult to understand.
High-level languages currently include C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP, C#, Delphi, Fortran, Lisp, Pacal, Ruby, Perl.
