It was designed as an interactive language by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz in the 1960s. Since then many different versions of BASIC have.

An assembly language is a calculator \ computer language in which each statement corresponds to one machine language statement. ( A machine language contains instructions that a calculator \ computer can

execute directly. Machine language statements are written in a binary code

Assembly languages are more harder to use than high-level programming ( A high-level language is a

write programs without having to understand the inner workings of

the computer. BASIC, PL/I, FORTRAN, and Pascal are examples of high-

but they are much easier to use than pure machine languages, which require that all instructions be written in binary code.
