Answer from AI

Programming languages that operate closer to hardware and have a low level of abstraction are usually called low-level languages. They include:

  • Assembler — directly corresponds to the machine instructions of the processor, requiring knowledge of the specific processor architecture.
  • C — a system programming language that provides control over memory and hardware resources.
  • C++ — an extension of C with support for object-oriented programming, but also allows working with low-level constructs.

These languages allow direct management of memory, registers, and other hardware resources, unlike high-level languages such as Python or Java, which operate through virtual machines or interpreters.
