In computer science, a low-level programming language is a language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's microprocessor. The word "low" refers to the small or nonexistent amount of abstraction between the language and machine language; because of this, low-level languages are sometimes described as being "close to the hardware."
A low-level language does not need a compiler or interpreter to run; the processor for which the language was written is able to run the code without using either of these.
