Question

What is meant by “high-level programming languages”?

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_programming_language

In a nutshell, a high-level language is at least one (often a few more) degrees of abstraction from low level assembly languages. Instead of 0s and 1s and such that are specific to hardware, high-level languages use a syntax that is more human-readable and is portable between different hardware at the expense of some amount of speed.

Answer 12

but im confused cause wikipedia said "A computer glitch is the failure of a system, usually containing a computing device, to complete its functions or to perform them properly. In public declarations, glitch is used to suggest a minor fault which will soon be rectified and is therefore a euphemism by comparison to bug, which is a factual statement that a programming fault is to blame for a system failure".
