What is The Difference between Low-level Language and High-Level Language

The major difference between Low-level Language and High-Level Language is that Low-level language is far from human beings and provides the facility to write programs at the hardware level while high-level language is near to human beings and does not provide the facility to write a program at the hardware level.

Definition
Low-level language or Machine language is a low-level programming language that can be understood by the computer.	The high-level language is an English-oriented language that can also be understood by the computer and human beings.
Way of Writing
Every interaction in machine language consists of a large series of 0s and 1s. In assembly language, the statements are written in symbolic codes called mnemonics.	High-level languages are closer to human language and include statements like GOTO and PRINT which are regular words.
Programming
It is difficult to write a program in machine language.	It is easier to write high-level language because it is easy to learn and use.
Each computer has its own unique machine language.	The programs of high-level languages are not written for a particular computer.
