Line 1:
A '''high-level programming language''' is a programming language that is more user-friendly, to some extent platform-independent, and abstract from low-level [[CPU|computer processor]] operations such as memory accesses. See [[programming language]] for a detailed discussion.
----
The word "high" does not imply that the language is superior to [[low-level programming language]]s but rather refers to the higher level of abstraction from machine language. For example: the difference between the programming language [[Java programming language|Java]] and [[assembler]] language is that Java abstracts programming functionality that assembler does not, for example, strings.
