💡 Activity Solution

1️⃣ Programming Language:

• A tool used by programmers to write instructions that tell a computer what to do.

2️⃣ Code:

• The set of written instructions or commands created using a programming language.

3️⃣ Source Code:

• The human-readable form of a program that the programmer writes before it’s translated.

4️⃣ Object Code:

• The machine-readable form produced after the source code is translated (compiled).

5️⃣ Why Compilers or Interpreters:

• Because computers only understand machine code (0s and 1s), we need translators to convert human-readable code into a format the CPU can execute.

6️⃣ When Fast:

• A language is considered fast when it runs close to the hardware (low-level) or when its compiler produces highly optimized machine code.

7️⃣ When Slow:

• A language is slow when it has more abstraction, is interpreted line by line, or depends on extra runtime layers that add overhead.

8️⃣ High-Level Language:

• A programming language that is easy to read and write, close to human language, and hides most hardware details (e.g., Python, C#, Java).

9️⃣ Low-Level Language:

• A programming language that is close to machine code, gives full control over hardware, but is harder to read (e.g., Assembly, Machine Language).

🔟 Human-Readable Language:

• A language is human-readable when its syntax uses words, symbols, and structure that are easy for people to understand — not binary or numeric codes.
