After machine code and assembly, programmers needed something even easier to use. That’s when high-level programming languages were born — a revolution that transformed coding forever.
In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ Why FORTRAN (Formula Translation) helped scientists crunch numbers
✅ How COBOL was designed for business and read almost like English
✅ Why C in the 1970s became a game-changer, balancing power and simplicity
✅ How one line of high-level code could translate into dozens of assembly instructions
High-level languages freed programmers from the details of hardware and opened the door to modern software — from operating systems to apps, games, and the web.
